perf record: Introduce --switch-output-event

Browse Source 
Now we can use it with --overwrite to have a flight recorder mode that
gets snapshot requests from arbitrary events that are processed in the
side band thread together with the PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT processing.

Example:

To collect scheduler events until a recvmmsg syscall happens, system
wide:

  [root@five a]# rm -f perf.data.2020042717*
  [root@five a]# perf record --overwrite -e sched:*switch,syscalls:*recvmmsg --switch-output-event syscalls:sys_enter_recvmmsg
  [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
  [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2020042717585458 ]
  [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
  [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2020042717590235 ]
  [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
  [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2020042717590398 ]
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2020042717590511 ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 7.244 MB perf.data.<timestamp> ]

So in the above case we had 3 snapshots, the fourth was forced by
control+C:

  [root@five a]# ls -la
  total 20440
  drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root    4096 Apr 27 17:59 .
  dr-xr-x---. 12 root root    4096 Apr 27 17:46 ..
  -rw-------.  1 root root 3936125 Apr 27 17:58 perf.data.2020042717585458
  -rw-------.  1 root root 5074869 Apr 27 17:59 perf.data.2020042717590235
  -rw-------.  1 root root 4291037 Apr 27 17:59 perf.data.2020042717590398
  -rw-------.  1 root root 7617037 Apr 27 17:59 perf.data.2020042717590511
  [root@five a]#

One can make this more precise by adding the switch output event to the
main -e events list, as since this is done asynchronously, a few events
after the signal event will appear in the snapshots, as can be seen
with:

  [root@five a]# rm -f perf.data.20200427175*
  [root@five a]# perf record --overwrite -e sched:*switch,syscalls:*recvmmsg --switch-output-event syscalls:sys_enter_recvmmsg

@ -556,6 +556,19 @@ overhead. You can still switch them on with:
--switch-output --no-no-buildid --no-no-buildid-cache
--switch-output-event::
Events that will cause the switch of the perf.data file, auto-selecting
--switch-output=signal, the results are similar as internally the side band
thread will also send a SIGUSR2 to the main one.
Uses the same syntax as --event, it will just not be recorded, serving only to
switch the perf.data file as soon as the --switch-output event is processed by
a separate sideband thread.
This sideband thread is also used to other purposes, like processing the
PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT records as they happen, asking the kernel for extra BPF
information, etc.
--switch-max-files=N::
When rotating perf.data with --switch-output, only keep N files.
