perf record: Add -a as default target
Running 'perf record' with no target (-a, -p, -t, etc) will now collect
system wide data.
Commiter notes:
Testing it:
[root@jouet ~]# perf record
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.351 MB perf.data (366 samples) ]
#
is equivalent to:
# perf record -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.411 MB perf.data (978 samples) ]
