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':

       <not counted>      cycles

         0.000984154 seconds time elapsed

After:

  $ ./perf stat --no-scale -e cycles true

   Performance counter stats for 'true':

perf script: Support relative time · 90b10f47

Andi Kleen authored Mar 14, 2019

When comparing time stamps in 'perf script' traces it can be annoying to
work with the full perf time stamps.

Add a --reltime option that displays time stamps relative to the trace
start to make it easier to read the traces.

Note: not currently supported for --time. Report an error in this
case.

Committer notes:

Do not use 'time' as the name of a variable, as this breaks the build on
older glibcs:

perf record: Clarify help for --switch-output · c38dab7d

Make it clear and less confusing.

perf record: Allow to limit number of reported perf.data files · 03724b2e

Andi Kleen authored Mar 14, 2019

When doing long term recording and waiting for some event to snapshot
on, we often only care about the last minute or so.

The --switch-output command line option supports rotating the perf.data
file when the size exceeds a threshold. But the disk would still be
filled with unnecessary old files.

Add a new option to only keep a number of rotated files, so that the
disk space usage can be limited.

tools lib bpf: Fix the build by adding a missing stdarg.h include · dfcbc2f2

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored Mar 11, 2019

The libbpf_print_fn_t typedef uses va_list without including the header
where that type is defined, stdarg.h, breaking in places where we're
unlucky for that type not to be already defined by some previously
included header.

Noticed while building on fedora 24 cross building tools/perf to the ARC
architecture using the uClibc C library:
