From 0d79f8b93187c771b6971acfaba67f4e2f1e0710 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2017 18:00:34 +0100 Subject: perf stat: Add -a as default target Boris asked for default -a option in case we monitor only uncore events. While implementing that I thought it might be actually useful to make it overall default. Running 'perf stat' will now collect system wide data.
