    perf events: Change perf parameter --pid to process-wide collection instead of thread-wide · d6d901c2
    Zhang, Yanmin 提交于
    Parameter --pid (or -p) of perf currently means a thread-wide
    collection. For exmaple, if a process whose id is 8888 has 10
    threads, 'perf top -p 8888' just collects the main thread
    statistics. That's misleading. Users are used to attach a whole
    process when debugging a process by gdb. To follow normal usage
    style, the patch change --pid to process-wide collection and add
    --tid (-t) to mean a thread-wide collection.
    
    Usage example is:
    
     # perf top -p 8888
     # perf record -p 8888 -f sleep 10
     # perf stat -p 8888 -f sleep 10
    
    Above commands collect the statistics of all threads of process
    8888.
