Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo ef4b1a539f perf report: Add --switch-on/--switch-off events
Since 'perf top' shares the histogram browser with 'perf report', then
the same explanation in the previous cset applies.

An additional example uses a pair of SDT events available for systemtap:

  # perf probe --exec=/usr/bin/stap '%*:*'
  Added new events:
    sdt_stap:benchmark__thread__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:benchmark   (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:benchmark__thread__end (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass6__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass6__end  (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass5__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass5__end  (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass0__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass0__end  (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass1a__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass1b__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass1__end  (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass2__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass2__end  (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass3__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass3__end  (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass4__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass4__end  (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:benchmark__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:benchmark__end (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:cache__get  (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:cache__clean (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:cache__add__module (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:cache__add__source (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:stap_system__complete (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:stap_system__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:stap_system__spawn (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:stap_system__fork (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:intern_string (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:client__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:client__end (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e sdt_stap:client__end -aR sleep 1

  #

From these we're use the two below to run systemtap's test suite:

  # perf record -e sdt_stap:pass2__*,cycles:P make installcheck > /dev/null
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 8 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.691 MB perf.data (39638 samples) ]
  Terminated
  # perf script | grep sdt_stap
              stap 28979 [000] 19424.302660: sdt_stap:pass2__start: (561b9a537de3) arg1=140730364262544
              stap 28979 [000] 19424.333083:   sdt_stap:pass2__end: (561b9a53a9e1) arg1=140730364262544
              stap 29045 [006] 19424.933460: sdt_stap:pass2__start: (563edddcede3) arg1=140722674883152
              stap 29045 [006] 19424.963794:   sdt_stap:pass2__end: (563edddd19e1) arg1=140722674883152
  # perf script | grep cycles |  wc -l
