syscalls, but other system events like pagefaults, task lifetime events,
scheduling events, etc.
Initially this is a live mode only tool, but eventually will work with
perf.data files like the other tools, allowing a detached 'record' from
analysis phases.
This is a live mode tool in addition to working with perf.data files like
the other perf tools. Files can be generated using the 'perf record' command
but the session needs to include the raw_syscalls events (-e 'raw_syscalls:*').
Alernatively, the 'perf trace record' can be used as a shortcut to
automatically include the raw_syscalls events when writing events to a file.
The following options apply to perf trace; options to perf trace record are
found in the perf record man page.
