When I capture a performance profile with, say, perf record --call-graph dwarf $(command -v kgpg)
, should I provide the raw perf.data
(albeit generally compressed in an archive), or should I provide the .perfparser
file that I can generate with something like hotspot
? I ask because IDK whether the perf.data
can be parsed solely on the generatee’s OS installation, or another machine entirely (like gdb
’s generate-core-file
’s coredumps appear to be able to).
