[RFC 0/3] perf tools: Add support for used defined metric

[Jiri Olsa]

hi,
Joe asked for possibility to add user defined metrics. Given that
we already have metrics support, I added --metric option that allows
to specify metric on the command line, like:

  # perf stat  --metric 'DECODED_ICACHE_UOPS% = 100 * (idq.dsb_uops / \
    (idq.ms_uops + idq.mite_uops + idq.dsb_uops + lsd.uops))' ...

The code facilitates the current metric code, and I was surprised
how easy it was, so I'm not sure I omitted something ;-)

Also available in:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jolsa/perf.git
  perf/metric

thoughts?
