perf record: Allow specifying a pid to record

Browse source

Allow specifying a pid instead of always fork+exec'ing a command.

Because the PERF_EVENT_COMM and PERF_EVENT_MMAP events happened before
we connected, we must synthesize them so that 'perf report' can get what
it needs.

[ Impact: add new command line option ]
