perf trace: Add --summary-mode option
The --summary-mode option will select how to show the syscall summary at the end. By default, it'll show the summary for each thread and it's the same as if --summary-mode=thread is passed. The other option is to show total summary, which is --summary-mode=total. I'd like to have this instead of a separate option like --total-summary because we may want to add a new summary mode (by cgroup) later. $ sudo ./perf trace -as --summary-mode=total sleep 1 Summary of events: total, 21580 events syscall calls errors total min avg max stddev (msec) (msec) (msec) (msec) (%) --------------- -------- ------ -------- --------- --------- --------- ------ epoll_wait 1305 0 14716.712 0.000 11.277 551.529 8.87% futex 1256 89 13331.197 0.000 10.614 733.722 15.49% poll 669 0 6806.618 0.000 10.174 459.316 11.77% ppoll 220 0 3968.797 0.000 18.040 516.775 25.35% clock_nanosleep 1 0 1000.027 1000.027 1000.027 1000.027 0.00% epoll_pwait 21 0 592.783 0.000 28.228 522.293 88.29% nanosleep 16 0 60.515 0.000 3.782 10.123 33.33% ioctl 510 0 4.284 0.001 0.008 0.182 8.84% recvmsg 1434 775 3.497 0.001 0.002 0.174 6.37% write 1393 0 2.854 0.001 0.002 0.017 1.79% read 1063 100 2.236 0.000 0.002 0.083 5.11% ...
