Jiri Olsa 8614ada0be perf report: Ask for ordered events for --tasks option
If we have the time in, keep the events in time order.

Committer notes:

Trying to be more verbose, what actual effect this will have in this particular
case?

Before and after this patch shows the artifacts:

<SNIP>

We don't have 'perf' calling 'perf' calling 'make', etc, the second
'perf' actually is 'make', i.e.  there was reordering of the relevant
PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_FORK records.

Ditto for sh/install later on.

Look for FORK and COMM meta events, for those tids:

  # perf report -D | egrep 'PERF_RECORD_(FORK|COMM)' | egrep '3243[34]'
  0 14774650990679 0x1a3cd8 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_FORK(32433:32433):(3489:3489)
  1 14774652080381 0x1d6568 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_COMM exec: perf:32433/32433
  1 14774742473340 0x1dbb48 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_FORK(32434:32434):(32433:32433)
  0 14774752005779 0x1a4af8 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_COMM exec: make:32434/32434
  0 14774753997960 0x1a5578 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_FORK(32435:32435):(32434:32434)
  0 14774756070782 0x1a5618 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_FORK(32438:32438):(32434:32434)
  0 14774757772939 0x1a5680 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_FORK(32440:32440):(32434:32434)
  0 14774758230600 0x1a56e8 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_FORK(32441:32441):(32434:32434)
  #

First column is the cpu, second is the timestamp.

So they are on different CPUs, thus ring buffers, and when we don't use
the ordered_events class, we end up mixing that up, use it to take
advantage of the PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND meta events to go on
ordering the events using the PERF_SAMPLE_TIME present in the
PERF_RECORD_{FORK,COMM,EXIT,SAMPLE,etc} records in the ring buffer.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
