perf trace: Add summary option to dump syscall statistics
When enabled dumps a summary of all syscalls by task with the usual statistics -- min, max, average and relative stddev. For example, make - 26341 : 3344 [ 17.4% ] 0.000 ms read : 52 0.000 4.802 0.644 30.08 write : 20 0.004 0.036 0.010 21.72 open : 24 0.003 0.046 0.014 23.68 close : 64 0.002 0.055 0.008 22.53 stat : 2714 0.002 0.222 0.004 4.47 fstat : 18 0.001 0.041 0.006 46.26 mmap : 30 0.003 0.009 0.006 5.71 mprotect : 8 0.006 0.039 0.016 32.16 munmap : 12 0.007 0.077 0.020 38.25 brk : 48 0.002 0.014 0.004 10.18 rt_sigaction : 18 0.002 0.002 0.002 2.11 rt_sigprocmask : 60 0.002 0.128 0.010 32.88 access : 2 0.006 0.006 0.006 0.00 pipe : 12 0.004 0.048 0.013 35.98 vfork : 34 0.448 0.980 0.692 3.04 execve : 20 0.000 0.387 0.046 56.66 wait4 : 34 0.017 9923.287 593.221 68.45 fcntl : 8 0.001 0.041 0.013 48.79 getdents : 48 0.002 0.079 0.013 19.62 getcwd : 2 0.005 0.005 0.005 0.00 chdir : 2 0.070 0.070 0.070 0.00 getrlimit : 2 0.045 0.045 0.045 0.00 arch_prctl : 2 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.00 setrlimit : 2 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.00 openat : 94 0.003 0.005 0.003 2.11 Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1381289214-24885-3-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
