I use the following. It ain't pretty:
#!/bin/bash
cleanup() {
trap - 2
kill -2 $sleep_pid
echo 0 >/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kvm/enable
kill $cat_pid
}
perf stat -a -e 'kvm:*' sleep 1h >results/perf_stat 2>&1 &
sleep_pid=$(sleep 1 && pgrep -x -f "sleep 1h") # sleep 1 is to avoid
race with forked perf process
trap cleanup 2
echo 1 >/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kvm/enable
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe >results/trace &
cat_pid=$!
# ...do stuff here...
cleanup
