Putting 'perf diff' command back on track with the 'latest'
evsel hists changes. Each evsel has its own 'hists' object
gathering stats for the particular event.
While currently counts are accumulated for the whole session
regardless of the events diversification within compared
sessions.
The 'perf diff' command now outputs all matching events within
compared sessions (with event name specified). The per event
diff output stays the same.

NAME
|
|

|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'perf diff' [oldfile] [newfile]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
This command displays the performance difference amongst two perf.data files
|
|
captured via perf record.
|
|
|
|
If no parameters are passed it will assume perf.data.old and perf.data.
|
|
|
|
The differential profile is displayed only for events matching both
|
|
specified perf.data files.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

Only consider symbols in these dsos. CSV that understands
|
|
file://filename entries.
|
|
|
|
-C::
|
|
--comms=::

|
-s::
|
|
--sort=::
|

Sort by key(s): pid, comm, dso, symbol.
|
|
|
|
-t::
|
|
--field-separator=::
|
|
|
|
Use a special separator character and don't pad with spaces, replacing

|
|
|
-v::
|
|
--verbose::
|
|

|
|
diff.

-f::
