perf/core improvements and fixes:
report/script/trace/top:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Allow specifying marker events demarcating when to consider the other events,
i.e. one now can state something like:
# perf probe kernel_function
# perf record -e cycles,probe:kernel_function
And then, in 'perf script' or 'perf report' say:
# perf report --switch-on=probe:kernel_function
And then the cycles event samples will be considered only after we
find the first probe:kernel_function event.
There is also --switch-off=event, to make it stop considering events
out of some window, say to avoid some winding down of a workload.
The same can be done with the "live mode" tools: 'perf top' and 'perf trace'.
There are examples in the cset comments showing how to use it with
SDT events in things like 'systemtap', that have those tracepoint-like
events for the start/end of passes, etc.
Another example involves selecting scheduler events + entry/exit of
a syscall, using the syscalls tracepoints, one can then see the
scheduler events that take place while that syscall is being processed.
In the future this should be possible in record/top/trace via eBPF
where the perf tools would hook into the marker events and enable events
put in place but not enabled when the on/off conditions are the desired
ones, reducing the amount of events sampled, but this userspace only
solution should be good enough for many scenarios.
perf vendor events intel:
Haiyan Song:
- Add Tremontx event file v1.02.
unwind:
John Keeping:
- Fix callchain unwinding when tid != pid, that was working only for the
thread group leader.

perf unwind: Remove unnecessary test
If dwarf_callchain_users is false, then unwind__prepare_access() will
not set unwind_libunwind_ops so the remaining test here is sufficient.
