Just like 'perf trace' and 'perf script', should be useful for instance to only consider samples after the initialization phase of some workload. The man page has some examples and considerations about its current interface, that still doesn't handle the on/off events in a special way, behaving just like when multiple events are specified, i.e.: - In non-group mode (when the event list is not enclosed in {}) show a a menu to allow choosing which event the user wants to see in the histograms browser - In group mode, be it using {} or asking for --group, show one column per event. Try for instance: # perf top -e '{cycles,instructions,probe:icmp_rcv}' --switch-on=probe:icmp_rcv Replace probe:icmp_rcv, that I put in place using: # perf probe icmp_rcv:59 To hit when broadcast packets arrive, with a probe installed after an initialization phase is over or after some other point of interest, some garbage collection, etc, and also use --switch-off, for instance, on a probe installed after said garbage collection is over.

README
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
