Context switch events are added automatically by Intel PT and Coresight.
Make it possible to suppress them. That is useful for tracing the
scheduler without the disturbance that the switch event processing
creates.
Example:
Prerequisites:
$ which perf
~/bin/perf
$ sudo setcap "cap_sys_rawio,cap_sys_admin,cap_sys_ptrace,cap_syslog,cap_ipc_lock=ep" ~/bin/perf
$ sudo chmod +r /proc/kcore
Before:
$ perf record --no-switch-events --kcore -a -e intel_pt//k -- sleep 0.001
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.938 MB perf.data ]
$ perf script -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SWITCH | wc -l
572
After:
$ perf record --no-switch-events --kcore -a -e intel_pt//k -- sleep 0.001
Warning:
Intel Processor Trace decoding will not be possible except for kernel tracing!
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

$ sudo chmod go-r /proc/kcore
$ sudo setcap -r ~/bin/perf
