Subject[PATCH v9 09/12] perf record: implement -z,--compression_level[=<n>] option
From
Date

Implemented -z,--compression_level[=<n>] option that enables compression
of mmaped kernel data buffers content in runtime during perf record
mode collection. Default option value is 1 (fastest compression).

Compression overhead has been measured for serial and AIO streaming
when profiling matrix multiplication workload:

-------------------------------------------------------------
| SERIAL | AIO-1 |
----------------------------------------------------------------|
|-z | OVH(x) | ratio(x) size(MiB) | OVH(x) | ratio(x) size(MiB) |
|---------------------------------------------------------------|
| 0 | 1,00 | 1,000 179,424 | 1,00 | 1,000 187,527 |
| 1 | 1,04 | 8,427 181,148 | 1,01 | 8,474 188,562 |
| 2 | 1,07 | 8,055 186,953 | 1,03 | 7,912 191,773 |
| 3 | 1,04 | 8,283 181,908 | 1,03 | 8,220 191,078 |
| 5 | 1,09 | 8,101 187,705 | 1,05 | 7,780 190,065 |
| 8 | 1,05 | 9,217 179,191 | 1,12 | 6,111 193,024 |
-----------------------------------------------------------------

OVH = (Execution time with -z N) / (Execution time with -z 0)

ratio - compression ratio
size - number of bytes that was compressed

size ~= trace size x ratio
