Subject[PATCH 07/37] perf trace: Introduce --max-events
Date
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

Allow stopping tracing after a number of events take place, considering
strace-like syscalls formatting as one event per enter/exit pair or when
in a multi-process tracing session a syscall is interrupted and printed
ending with '...'.

Examples included in the documentation:

Trace the first 4 open, openat or open_by_handle_at syscalls (in the future more syscalls may match here):

$ perf trace -e open* --max-events 4
[root@jouet perf]# trace -e open* --max-events 4
2272.992 ( 0.037 ms): gnome-shell/1370 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /proc/self/stat) = 31
2277.481 ( 0.139 ms): gnome-shell/3039 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /proc/self/stat) = 65
3026.398 ( 0.076 ms): gnome-shell/3039 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /proc/self/stat) = 65
4294.665 ( 0.015 ms): sed/15879 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /etc/ld.so.cache, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3
$

Trace the first minor page fault when running a workload:

# perf trace -F min --max-stack=7 --max-events 1 sleep 1
0.000 ( 0.000 ms): sleep/18006 minfault [__clear_user+0x1a] => 0x5626efa56080 (?k)

__x64_sys_execve ([kernel.kallsyms])
do_syscall_64 ([kernel.kallsyms])
entry_SYSCALL_64 ([kernel.kallsyms])
#

Trace the next min page page fault to take place on the first CPU:

# perf trace -F min --call-graph=dwarf --max-events 1 --cpu 0
0.000 ( 0.000 ms): Web Content/17136 minfault [js::gc::Chunk::fetchNextDecommittedArena+0x4b] => 0x7fbe6181b000 (?.)

js::ConcatStrings<(js::AllowGC)1> (/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so)
[0x18b26e6bc2bd] (/tmp/perf-17136.map)

Tracing the next four ext4 operations on a specific CPU:

# perf trace -e ext4:*/call-graph=fp/ --max-events 4 --cpu 3
