There is a newer version of this series
[PATCH v6 2/8] perf record --off-cpu: Add --off-cpu-thresh
Posted by Howard Chu 1 year, 4 months ago 
Add the --off-cpu-thresh argument to specify the off-cpu time threshold.
If the off-cpu time exceeds this threshold, dump the off-cpu data
directly.

Do you mean strtoull() ?
