perf record: Set timestamp boundary for AUX area events
AUX area data is not processed by 'perf record' and consequently the --timestamp-boundary option may result in no values for "time of first sample" and "time of last sample". However there are non-sample events that can be used instead, namely 'itrace_start' and 'aux'. 'itrace_start' is issued before tracing starts, and 'aux' is issued every time data is ready. Implement tool callbacks for those two for 'perf record', to update the timestamp boundary. Example: $ perf record -e intel_pt//u --timestamp-boundary uname Linux [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.022 MB perf.data ] $ perf script --header-only | grep "time of" # time of first sample : 4574.835541 # time of last sample : 4574.835907 $ perf script --itrace=be -F-ip | head -1 uname 13752 [001] 4574.835589: 1 branches:uH: $ perf script --itrace=be -F-ip | tail -1 uname 13752 [001] 4574.835867: 1 branches:uH: $ Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Acked-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210503064222.5319-1-adrian.hunter@intel.comSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
