perf trace: Introduce --show-cpu option to display cpu id
When tracing system-wide workloads or specific events, it is highly valuable to know exactly which CPU executed a specific event. Currently, perf trace output defaults to omitting CPU information. Introduce a new "--show-cpu" command-line option. When provided, this flag extracts the CPU from the perf sample and prints it in a "[000]" format immediately following the timestamp. This mirrors the behaviour of other tracing tools like ftrace and perf script. For example: # perf trace -e sched:sched_switch --max-events 5 --show-cpu 0.000 [002] :0/0 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm: "swapper/2", prev_prio: 120, next_comm: "rcu_preempt", next_pid: 16 (rcu_preempt), next_prio: 120) 0.009 [002] rcu_preempt/16 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm: "rcu_preempt", prev_pid: 16 (rcu_preempt), prev_prio: 120, prev_state: 128, next_comm: "swapper/2", next_prio: 120) 0.033 [002] :0/0 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm: "swapper/2", prev_prio: 120, next_comm: "kworker/u32:48", next_pid: 35840 (kworker/u32:48-), next_prio: 120) 0.041 [002] kworker/u32:48/35840 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm: "kworker/u32:48", prev_pid: 35840 (kworker/u32:48-), prev_prio: 120, prev_state: 128, next_comm: "swapper/2", next_prio: 120) 0.045 [002] :0/0 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm: "swapper/2", prev_prio: 120, next_comm: "kworker/u32:48", next_pid: 35840 (kworker/u32:48-), next_prio: 120) The feature is implemented strictly as an opt-in toggle to prevent cluttering the standard output and to preserve backwards compatibility for scripts parsing the default output format.
