mainline inclusion from mainline-5.11 commit 55a4de94c64bacffbcd802c954764e0de2ab217f category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4CMQA CVE: NA
--------------------------------
Add a new --quiet option to 'perf stat'. This is useful with 'perf stat record' to write the data only to the perf.data file, which can lower measurement overhead because the data doesn't need to be formatted.
On my 4C desktop:
% time ./perf stat record -e $(python -c 'print ",\ ".join(["cycles"]*1000)') -a -I 1000 sleep 5 ... real 0m5.377s user 0m0.238s sys 0m0.452s % time ./perf stat record --quiet -e $(python -c 'print ",\ ".join(["cycles"]*1000)') -a -I 1000 sleep 5
real 0m5.452s user 0m0.183s sys 0m0.423s
In this example it cuts the user time by 20%. On systems with more cores the savings are higher.
