Now we can use it with --overwrite to have a flight recorder mode that
gets snapshot requests from arbitrary events that are processed in the
side band thread together with the PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT processing.
Example:
To collect scheduler events until a recvmmsg syscall happens, system
wide:
[root@five a]# rm -f perf.data.2020042717*
[root@five a]# perf record --overwrite -e sched:*switch,syscalls:*recvmmsg --switch-output-event syscalls:sys_enter_recvmmsg
[ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
[ perf record: Dump perf.data.2020042717585458 ]
[ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
[ perf record: Dump perf.data.2020042717590235 ]
[ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
[ perf record: Dump perf.data.2020042717590398 ]
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Dump perf.data.2020042717590511 ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 7.244 MB perf.data.<timestamp> ]
So in the above case we had 3 snapshots, the fourth was forced by
control+C:
[root@five a]# ls -la
total 20440
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Apr 27 17:59 .
dr-xr-x---. 12 root root 4096 Apr 27 17:46 ..
-rw-------. 1 root root 3936125 Apr 27 17:58 perf.data.2020042717585458
-rw-------. 1 root root 5074869 Apr 27 17:59 perf.data.2020042717590235
-rw-------. 1 root root 4291037 Apr 27 17:59 perf.data.2020042717590398
-rw-------. 1 root root 7617037 Apr 27 17:59 perf.data.2020042717590511
[root@five a]#
One can make this more precise by adding the switch output event to the
main -e events list, as since this is done asynchronously, a few events
after the signal event will appear in the snapshots, as can be seen
with:
[root@five a]# rm -f perf.data.20200427175*
[root@five a]# perf record --overwrite -e sched:*switch,syscalls:*recvmmsg --switch-output-event syscalls:sys_enter_recvmmsg

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
