The cost of buildid cache processing is high: reading all events in
output perf.data, opening each elf file to read buildids then copying
them into ~/.debug directory. In switch output mode, these heavy works
block perf from receiving perf events for too long.
Enable no-buildid and no-buildid-cache by default if --switch-output is
provided. Still allow user use --no-no-buildid to explicitly enable
buildid in this case.

Post processing at 'perf record' takes a long time on big machines.
What it does is to find the build-id of binaries found in the event
stream, so that it can make sure, at 'report' time, that the symtabs (be
it ELF, kallsyms, etc) being used to resolve symbols are the ones
matching the binaries found at 'record' time.
Sometimes we just want to skip this processing of events at the end of
the session to get quicker results, making sure the binaries haven't
changed from 'record' to 'report' time.
Add a new config option to control this behavior.
The record.build-id config variable can have one of the following
values:
- cache: post-process data and save/update the binaries into the
build-id cache (in ~/.debug). This is the default.
- no-cache: post-process the data but not update the build-id cache.
Same effect as using the -N option.
- skip: skip post-processing and do not update the cache.
Same effect as using the -B option.

This patch modifies the -I/--int-regs option to enablepassing the name
of the registers to sample on interrupt. Registers can be specified by
their symbolic names. For instance on x86, --intr-regs=ax,si.
The motivation is to reduce the size of the perf.data file and the
overhead of sampling by only collecting the registers useful to a
specific analysis. For instance, for value profiling, sampling only the
registers used to passed arguements to functions.
With no parameter, the --intr-regs still records all possible registers
based on the architecture.
To name registers, it is necessary to use the long form of the option,
i.e., --intr-regs:
$ perf record --intr-regs=si,di,r8,r9 .....
To record any possible registers:
$ perf record -I .....
$ perf report --intr-regs ...
To display the register, one can use perf report -D
To list the available registers:
$ perf record --intr-regs=\?
available registers: AX BX CX DX SI DI BP SP IP FLAGS CS SS R8 R9 R10 R11 R12 R13 R14 R15

One usaful case for partial time is to work with per-event callgraph to

can significantly reduce the sampling overhead.

Currently the command line option settings beats the per event period
settings:
With no global settings, we get per-event configuration:
$ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' sleep 1
$ perf evlist -v
... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ...
With 'c' option period setup, we get 'c' option value:
$ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1
$ perf evlist -v
... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1000 ...
This patch makes the per-event settings overload the global 'c' option
setup:
$ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1
$ perf evlist -v
... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ...
I think the making the per-event settings to overload any other config
makes more sense than current state. However it breaks the current
'period' term handling, which might cause some noise.. so let's see ;-).
Also fixing parse event tests with the new behaviour.

This patch allows 'perf record' to exclude events issued by perf itself
by '--exclude-perf' option.
Before this patch, when doing something like:
# perf record -a -e syscalls:sys_enter_write <cmd>
One could easily get result like this:
# /tmp/perf report --stdio
...
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... .................. ....................
#
99.99% perf libpthread-2.18.so [.] __write_nocancel
0.01% ls libc-2.18.so [.] write
0.01% sshd libc-2.18.so [.] write
...
Where most events are generated by perf itself.
A shell trick can be done to filter perf itself out:
# cat << EOF > ./tmp
> #!/bin/sh
> exec perf record -e ... --filter="common_pid != \$\$" -a sleep 10
> EOF
# chmod a+x ./tmp
# ./tmp
However, doing so is user unfriendly.
This patch extracts evsel iteration framework introduced by patch 'perf
record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matching' into
foreach_evsel_in_last_glob(), and makes exclude_perf() function append
new filter expression to each evsel selected by a '-e' selector.
To avoid losing filters if user pass '--filter' after '--exclude-perf',
this patch uses perf_evsel__append_filter() in both case, instead of
perf_evsel__set_filter() which removes old filter. As a side effect, now
it is possible to use multiple '--filter' option for one selector. They
are combinded with '&&'.

Currently, there are two call chain recording options, fp and dwarf.
Haswell has a new feature that utilizes the existing LBR facility to
record call chains. Kernel side LBR support code provides this as a
third option to record call chains. This patch enables the lbr call
stack support on the tooling side.
LBR call stack has some limitations:
- It reuses current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and branch record
can not be enabled at the same time.
- It is only available for user-space callchains.
However, it also offers some advantages:
- LBR call stack can work on user apps which don't have frame-pointers
or dwarf debug info compiled. It is a good alternative when nothing
else works.

perf stat has a --delay option to delay measuring the workload.
This is useful to skip measuring the startup phase of the program, which
is often very different from the main workload.
The same is useful for perf record when sampling.
--no-delay was already taken, so add a --initial-delay
to perf record too.
-D was already taken for record, so there is only a long option.
v2: Don't disable group members (Namhyung Kim)
v3: port to latest perf/core
rename to --initial-delay to avoid conflict with --no-delay

This affects the -p, -t and -u options that previously defaulted to
per-thread mmaps.
Consequently add an option to select per-thread mmaps to support the old
behaviour.
Note that per-thread can be used with a workload-only (i.e. none of -p,
-t, -u, -a or -C is selected) to get a per-thread mmap with no
inheritance.

By default, when tasks are specified (i.e. -p, -t or -u options)
per-thread mmaps are created.
Add an option to override that and force per-cpu mmaps.
Further comments by peterz:
So this option allows -t/-p/-u to create one buffer per cpu and attach
all the various thread/process/user tasks' their counters to that one
buffer?
As opposed to the current state where each such counter would have its
own buffer.

Splitting -g and --call-graph for record command, so we could use '-g'
with no option.
The '-g' option now takes NO argument and enables the configured unwind
method, which is currently the frame pointers method.
It will be possible to configure unwind method via config file in
upcoming patches.
All current '-g' arguments is overtaken by --call-graph option.

$ perf record -m 2M ls
The size is rounded up appropriately to follow perf

If no unit is specified the number provides pages as

v4: Readd sort keys to manpage
v5: Move weight to end
v6: Move weight to template
