It's now possible to specify the threshold size for perf.data like: $ perf record --switch-output=2G ... Once it's reached, the current data are dumped in to the perf.data.<timestamp> file and session does on. $ perf record --switch-output=2G ... [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 7244 times ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2017010214093746 ] ... The size is expected to be a number with appended unit character - B/K/M/G.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
