perf tool: Save cmdline from user in file header vs what is passed to record A number of builtin commands process some user args and then pass the rest to cmd_record. cmd_record then saves argc/argv that it receives into the header of the perf data file. But this loses the arguments handled by the first command -- ie., the real command line from the user. This patch saves the command line as typed by the user rather than what was passed to cmd_record. As an example consider the command: $ perf kvm --guest --host --guestmount=/tmp/guest-mount record -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 10 Currently the command saved to the header is: cmdline : /tmp/p3.5/perf record -o perf.data.kvm -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 1 (ignore the duplicated -o -- the first would be yet another bug with perf-kvm). With this patch the command line saved to the header is: cmdline : /tmp/p3.5/perf kvm --guest --host --guestmount=/tmp/guest-mount record -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 1 v2: simplified to saving the command in parse_options per Stephane's suggestion Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1343616831-6408-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
