From d13025222cdb0043e2239b3b819389358bb31bc0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2009 08:57:15 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Add an option to multiplex counters in a single channel Add an option to multiplex counters output in the channel of the group leader, ie: the first counter opened: -M --multiplex The effect is better serialized samples. This is especially useful for tracepoint samples that need to be well serialized for their post-processing. Also make use of this option in 'perf sched'.
