From 483635a9d0802d5ffbe402ceac5b93ddb2acb138 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2017 18:00:18 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf record: Add -a as default target Running 'perf record' with no target (-a, -p, -t, etc) will now collect system wide data. Commiter notes: Testing it: [root@jouet ~]# perf record ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.351 MB perf.data (366 samples) ] # is equivalent to: # perf record -a ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.411 MB perf.data (978 samples) ] # Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170217170018.GA15389@krava Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/Documentation/perf-record.txt | 2 +- tools/perf/builtin-record.c | 4 +++- 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-record.txt b/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-record.txt index 27256bc68eda..b16003ec14a7 100644 --- a/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-record.txt +++ b/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-record.txt @@ -157,7 +157,7 @@ OPTIONS -a:: --all-cpus:: - System-wide collection from all CPUs. + System-wide collection from all CPUs (default if no target is specified). -p:: --pid=:: diff --git a/tools/perf/builtin-record.c b/tools/perf/builtin-record.c index 6cd6776052e7..b87bbef73394 100644 --- a/tools/perf/builtin-record.c +++ b/tools/perf/builtin-record.c @@ -1677,8 +1677,10 @@ int cmd_record(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix __maybe_unused) argc = parse_options(argc, argv, record_options, record_usage, PARSE_OPT_STOP_AT_NON_OPTION); + + /* Make system wide (-a) the default target. */ if (!argc && target__none(&rec->opts.target)) - usage_with_options(record_usage, record_options); + rec->opts.target.system_wide = true; if (nr_cgroups && !rec->opts.target.system_wide) { usage_with_options_msg(record_usage, record_options,
