850 Run a perf script command multiple times in parallel, using perf script options
851 --cpu and --time so that each job processes a different chunk of the data.
855 Follow the options by '--' and then the perf script command e.g.

858 $ parallel-perf.py --nr=4 -- perf script --ns

880 Any perf script command can be used, including the use of perf script options
881 --dlfilter and --script, so that the benefit of running parallel jobs
882 naturally extends to them also.
884 If option --pipe-to is used, standard output is first piped through that
885 command. Beware, if the command fails (e.g. grep with no matches), it will be
886 considered a fatal error.
888 Final standard output is redirected to files named out.txt in separate
889 subdirectories under the output directory. Similarly, standard error is
890 written to files named err.txt. In addition, files named cmd.txt contain the
891 corresponding perf script command. After processing, err.txt files are removed
894 If any job exits with a non-zero exit code, then all jobs are killed and no
895 more are started. A message is printed if any job results in a non-empty
898 There is a separate output subdirectory for each time range. If the --per-cpu
899 option is used, these are further grouped under cpu-n subdirectories, e.g.
901 $ parallel-perf.py --per-cpu --nr=2 -- perf script --ns --cpu=0,1

925 Subdivisions of time range, and cpus if the --per-cpu option is used, are
926 expressed by the --time and --cpu perf script options respectively. If the
927 supplied perf script command has a --time option, then that time range is
928 subdivided, otherwise the time range given by 'time of first sample' to
929 'time of last sample' is used (refer perf script --header-only). Similarly, the
930 supplied perf script command may provide a --cpu option, and only those CPUs
933 To prevent time intervals becoming too small, the --min-interval option can
936 Note there is special handling for processing Intel PT traces. If an interval is
937 not specified and the perf record command contained the intel_pt event, then the
938 time range will be subdivided in order to produce subdivisions that contain
939 approximately the same amount of trace data. That is accomplished by counting
940 double-quick (--itrace=qqi) samples, and choosing time ranges that encompass
941 approximately the same number of samples. In that case, time ranges may not be
942 the same for each CPU processed. For Intel PT, --per-cpu is the default, but
943 that can be overridden by --no-per-cpu. Note, for Intel PT, double-quick
944 decoding produces 1 sample for each PSB synchronization packet, which in turn
945 come after a certain number of bytes output, determined by psb_period (refer
946 perf Intel PT documentation). The minimum number of double-quick samples that
947 will define a time range can be set by the --min_size option, which defaults to
