Several options were incorrectly described, some lacked describing required arguments while others were simply not documented, fix it.

2018-04-18perf mem: Allow all record/report optionsAndi Kleen
For perf mem report / perf mem record, pass all unknown options through to the underlying report/record commands. This makes things like perf mem record -a sleep 1 work. Matches how c2c and other tools work.

2015-01-21perf mem: Enable sampling loads and stores simultaneouslyStephane Eranian
This patch modifies perf mem to default to sampling loads and stores simultaneously. It could only do one or the other before yet there was no hardware restriction preventing simultaneous collection. With this patch, one run is sufficient to collect both. It is still possible to sample only loads or stores by using the -t option: $ perf mem -t load rec $ perf mem -t load rep Or $ perf mem -t store rec $ perf mem -t store rep The perf report TUI will show one event at a time. The store output will contain a Weight column which will be empty. In V2, we updated the man pages to reflect the change and also simplify the initialization of the argv vector passed to the cmd_*() functions as per LKML feedback. In V3, we fixed typos in the changelog.

2014-03-14perf mem: Clarify load-latency in documentationAndi Kleen
Clarify in the documentation that 'perf mem report' reports use-latency, not load/store-latency on Intel systems. This often causes confusion with users.

2013-04-01perf tools: Add new mem command for memory access profilingStephane Eranian
This new command is a wrapper on top of perf record and perf report to make it easier to configure for memory access profiling. To record loads: $ perf mem -t load rec ..... To record stores: $ perf mem -t store rec ..... To get the report: $ perf mem -t load rep Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1359040242-8269-15-git-send-email-eranian@google.com [ Fixed minor conflict with 66857b5 "Sort command-list.txt alphabetically" ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
