VTune: restricting counting to user mode generated events

[Bernard]

Hello,

Linux perf posses an option an "u" switch to restrict the event counting to user mode code triggers only. Does VTune (its console version) posses a corresponding switch to enable only user mode performance event counting?

I thoroughly inspected the available command line switches and have not seen that option existing.

Thank you

Hello,

It is possible with a custom analysis type that you can compose yourself (-collect-with action in CL) or derive from a predefined analysis type using GUI and then generate a command line from it. In the custom analysis type you can add "-knob event-mode=user" to collect only user mode samples.

Thanks & Regards, Dmitry
