Actually, there is already a similar support for the perf script which was provided by Andi. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit= /?id=3D4bd1bef8bba2f99ff472ae3617864dda301f81bd It should be able to be extended to other tools, e.g., annotate or report= =2E But it seems the feature is broken now. It's better to fix it first. $ sudo perf script -I -F cpu,ip,sym,event,period,metric Segmentation fault The solution relies on the sample read feature. So you probably have to divide the metrics into several groups if the metrics is too big. For the leading event, the ref-cycles suggested in Andi's example should be a good default choice, after all you want to measure time. For example, the "perf record -M tma_info_thread_ipc" may be interpreted to perf record -e "{ref-cycles,INST_RETIRED.ANY,CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD}:S" The implementation should be simpler than the VTune method. >=20 > As for the interface, I suggest adding a "perf mlist" similar to > perf evlist, that would just print what metrics could be calculated > from the events recorded in the input file.
