2019-02-04perf mem/c2c: Fix perf_mem_events to support powerpcRavi Bangoria1-1/+1
PowerPC hardware does not have a builtin latency filter (--ldlat) for the "mem-load" event and perf_mem_events by default includes "/ldlat=30/" which is causing a failure on PowerPC. Refactor the code to support "perf mem/c2c" on PowerPC.

2018-04-18perf mem: Allow all record/report optionsAndi Kleen1-0/+3
For perf mem report / perf mem record, pass all unknown options through to the underlying report/record commands. This makes things like perf mem record -a sleep 1 work.

2015-01-21perf mem: Enable sampling loads and stores simultaneouslyStephane Eranian1-4/+5
This patch modifies perf mem to default to sampling loads and stores simultaneously. It could only do one or the other before yet there was no hardware restriction preventing simultaneous collection. With this patch, one run is sufficient to collect both. It is still possible to sample only loads or stores by using the -t option: $ perf mem -t load rec $ perf mem -t load rep Or $ perf mem -t store rec $ perf mem -t store rep The perf report TUI will show one event at a time. The store output will contain a Weight column which will be empty. In V2, we updated the man pages to reflect the change and also simplify the initialization of the argv vector passed to the cmd_*() functions as per LKML feedback. In V3, we fixed typos in the changelog.
