2021-09-17perf record: Add --synth optionNamhyung Kim
Add an option to control the synthesizing behavior. --synth <no|all|task|mmap|cgroup> Fine-tune event synthesis: default=all This can be useful when we know it doesn't need some synthesis like in a specific usecase and/or when using pipe: $ perf record -a --all-cgroups --synth cgroup -o- sleep 1 | \ > perf report -i- -s cgroup Committer notes: Added a clarification to the man page entry for --synth that this is about pre-existing threads.

2021-09-17perf tools: Allow controlling synthesizing PERF_RECORD_ metadata events ↵Namhyung Kim
during record Depending on the use case, it might require some kind of synthesizing and some not. Make it controllable to turn off heavy operations like MMAP for all tasks. Currently all users are converted to enable all the synthesis by default. It'll be updated in the later patch.

2021-08-02perf inject: Fix output from a file to a pipeNamhyung Kim
When the input is a regular file but the output is a pipe, it should write a pipe header. But just repiping would write a portion of the existing header which is different in 'size' value. So we need to prevent it and write a new pipe header along with other information like event attributes and features. This can handle something like this: # perf record -a -B sleep 1 # perf inject -b -i perf.data | perf report -i - Factor out perf_event__synthesize_for_pipe() to be shared between perf record and inject.

2020-04-03perf record: Support synthesizing cgroup eventsNamhyung Kim
Synthesize cgroup events by iterating cgroup filesystem directories. The cgroup event only saves the portion of cgroup path after the mount point and the cgroup id (which actually is a file handle).

2019-09-20perf tools: Move event synthesizing routines to separate headerArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Those are the only routines using the perf_event__handler_t typedef and are all related, so move to a separate header to reduce the header dependency tree, lots of places were getting event.h and even stdio.h, limits.h indirectly, so fix those as well.
