Subject: [PATCH v1 2/4] perf record: Dump off-cpu samples directly
Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2024 16:37:03 +0800
Message-ID: <20240422083703.1931281-1-howardchu95@gmail.com>

bpf_perf_event_output the off-cpu sample on sched_switch. Because most of
the time can_record() returns 0, therefore we can't collect stacks, when
stack trace is collectable, store it in stack_save for later output. If we
don't do that, most of the off-cpu samples won't have a stack trace.
Because we don't collect total off-cpu time, and stack traces are collected
in task_storage, we don't need to worry about maps getting overflow.

There is a threshold OUTPUT_THRESHOLD (ns) to decide the minimum off-CPU
time to trigger output, it is now set to zero. I need opinions on this
value.
