|  | ordered-events   - ordered events object debug messages | 
|  | data-convert     - data convert command debug messages | 
|  | stderr           - write debug output (option -v) to stderr | 
|  | in browser mode | 
|  | perf-event-open  - Print perf_event_open() arguments and | 
|  | return value | 
|  |  | 
|  | --buildid-dir:: | 
|  | Setup buildid cache directory. It has higher priority than | 
|  | buildid.dir config file option. |

|  | DESCRIPTION | 
|  | ----------- | 
|  | Performance counters for Linux are a new kernel-based subsystem | 
|  | that provide a framework for all things performance analysis. It | 
|  | covers hardware level (CPU/PMU, Performance Monitoring Unit) features | 
|  | and software features (software counters, tracepoints) as well. |
