    perf tools: Add the ability to specify list of cpus to monitor · c45c6ea2
    Stephane Eranian authored
    This patch adds a -C option to stat, record, top to designate a list of CPUs to
    monitor. CPUs can be specified as a comma-separated list or ranges, no space
    allowed.
    
    Examples:
    $ perf record -a -C0-1,4-7 sleep 1
    $ perf top -C0-4
    $ perf stat -a -C1,2,3,4 sleep 1
    
    With perf record in per-thread mode with inherit mode on, samples are collected
    only when the thread runs on the designated CPUs.
    
    The -C option does not turn on system-wide mode automatically.
