creating groups with perf stat is new for me and not documented ? running the same works for me: [capjo@e6410 ~]$ perf stat -v -e '{task-clock,cpu-clock,instructions}' kill usage: kill [ -s signal | -p ] [ -a ] pid ... kill -l [ signal ] task-clock: 884808 884808 884808 cpu-clock: 885924 884808 884808 instructions: 735287 884808 884808 Performance counter stats for 'kill': 0.884808 task-clock # 0.687 CPUs utilized 0.885924 cpu-clock 735,287 instructions # 0.00 insns per cycle 0.001287584 seconds time elapsed [capjo@e6410 ~]$ perf --version perf version 3.7-5 [capjo@e6410 ~]$ uname -a Linux e6410 3.7.4-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jan 21 23:05:29 CET 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-perf-users" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
