This adds documentation on the environment variables needed to the
message telling that no conversion support is compiled in.
Committer testing:
$ make -C tools/perf install
$ perf data convert --all --to-ctf myctftrace
No conversion support compiled in. perf should be compiled with environment variables LIBBABELTRACE=1 and LIBBABELTRACE_DIR=/path/to/libbabeltrace/

We got it from the git sources but never used it for anything, with the
place where this would be somehow used remaining:
static int run_builtin(struct cmd_struct *p, int argc, const char **argv)
{
prefix = NULL;
if (p->option & RUN_SETUP)
prefix = NULL; /* setup_perf_directory(); */
Ditch it.

If 'all' option is selected, 'perf data convert' should convert not only
samples, but non-sample events such as comm and fork. Add this option in
perf_data_convert_opts. Following commits will add cmdline option to
select it.

Following commits will add new option to 'perf data convert'. All options
should be grouped into a structure and passed to low level converter
(currently there's only one converter).
Introduce data-convert.h and define 'struct perf_data_convert_opts' in
it. Pass 'force' through opts.

Move the subcommand-related files from perf to a new library named
libsubcmd.a.
Since we're moving files anyway, go ahead and rename 'exec_cmd.*' to
'exec-cmd.*' to be consistent with the naming of all the other files.

Enable perf data convert to use perf.data when it is not owned by
current user or root.
Example:
# perf record ls
# chown Yunlong.Song:Yunlong.Song perf.data
# ls -al perf.data
-rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 28260 Apr 2 17:35 perf.data
# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11)
Before this patch:
# perf data convert --to-ctf=./ctf-data/
File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
# perf data convert --to-ctf=./ctf-data/ -f
Error: unknown switch `f'
usage: perf data convert [<options>]
-v, --verbose be more verbose
-i, --input <file> input file name
--to-ctf ... Convert to CTF format
After this patch:
# perf data convert --to-ctf=./ctf-data/
File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
# perf data convert --to-ctf=./ctf-data/ -f
# ls ctf-data/
metadata perf_stream_0
As shown above, the -f option really works now.

As shown above, the subsubcommands of perf data does not come out.
After this patch:

Adding 'perf data convert' to convert perf data file into different
format. This patch adds support for CTF format conversion.
To convert perf.data into CTF run:
$ perf data convert --to-ctf=./ctf-data/
[ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './ctf-data/' ]
[ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 11.268 MB (100230 samples) ]
The command will create CTF metadata out of perf.data file (or one
specified via -i option) and then convert all sample events into single
CTF stream.
Each sample_type bit is translated into separated CTF event field apart
from following exceptions:
PERF_SAMPLE_RAW - added in next patch
PERF_SAMPLE_READ - TODO
PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN - TODO
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK - TODO
PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER - TODO
PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER - TODO
$ perf --debug=data-convert=2 data convert ...
The converted CTF data could be analyzed by CTF tools, like babletrace
or tracecompass [1].

The following members to the ctf-environment were decided to be added to
distinguish and specify perf CTF data:
- domain
It says "kernel" because it contains a kernel trace (not to be
confused with a user space like lttng-ust does)
- tracer_name
It says perf. This can be used to distinguish between lttng and perf
CTF based trace.
- version
The kernel version from stream. In addition to release, this is what
it looks like on a Debian kernel:
release = "3.14-1-amd64";
version = "3.14.0";
