Hi,
I record three different events for my test-program:
perf record -s -e cycles,instructions,LLC-load-misses ./test-program
I want to plot the occurences of the different events over time,
i.e. x-axis is time and y-axis is event count.
With
perf report -D
I can dump perf.data to ASCII. However, I could not figure out how to
extract different event types from the ASCII output.

10882640891486510 0x1edb88 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 2):
73771/73775: 0x2b52e72fb643 period: 6512747 addr: 0
I figured out how to parse the timestamp, pid and pid and I guess
period says how often an event happened in the period. However I do
not know which event occured. Is this only encoded in the raw event or
am I missing something?

There's a patch proposed for this. I guess it'll likely get merged soon
so that you can use it in v3.9?
