From 75998bb263bf48c1c85d78cd2d2f3a97d3747cab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2019 15:50:01 -0700 Subject: perf stat: Fix --no-scale The -c option to enable multiplex scaling has been useless for quite some time because scaling is default. It's only useful as --no-scale to disable scaling. But the non scaling code path has bitrotted and doesn't print anything because perf output code relies on value run/ena information. Also even when we don't want to scale a value it's still useful to show its multiplex percentage. This patch: - Fixes help and documentation to show --no-scale instead of -c - Removes -c, only keeps the long option because -c doesn't support negatives. - Enables running/enabled even with --no-scale - And fixes some other problems in the no-scale output. Before: $ perf stat --no-scale -e cycles true Performance counter stats for 'true': cycles 0.000984154 seconds time elapsed After: $ ./perf stat --no-scale -e cycles true Performance counter stats for 'true': 706,070 cycles 0.001219821 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo LPU-Reference: 20190314225002.30108-9-andi@firstfloor.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-xggjvwcdaj2aqy8ib3i4b1g6@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/Documentation/perf-stat.txt | 5 ++--- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'tools/perf/Documentation/perf-stat.txt') diff --git a/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-stat.txt b/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-stat.txt index 4bc2085e5197..39c05f89104e 100644 --- a/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-stat.txt +++ b/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-stat.txt @@ -72,9 +72,8 @@ report:: --all-cpus:: system-wide collection from all CPUs (default if no target is specified) --c:: ---scale:: - scale/normalize counter values +--no-scale:: + Don't scale/normalize counter values -d:: --detailed:: -- cgit v1.2.3
