perf events: Change perf parameter --pid to process-wide collection instead of thread-wide
Parameter --pid (or -p) of perf currently means a thread-wide
collection. For exmaple, if a process whose id is 8888 has 10
threads, 'perf top -p 8888' just collects the main thread
statistics. That's misleading. Users are used to attach a whole
process when debugging a process by gdb. To follow normal usage
style, the patch change --pid to process-wide collection and add
--tid (-t) to mean a thread-wide collection.
Usage example is:
# perf top -p 8888
# perf record -p 8888 -f sleep 10
# perf stat -p 8888 -f sleep 10
Above commands collect the statistics of all threads of process
8888.
