Jin Yao 68588baf8d perf record: Record the first and last sample time in the header
In the default 'perf record' configuration, all samples are processed,
to create the HEADER_BUILD_ID table. So it's very easy to get the
first/last samples and save the time to perf file header via the
function write_sample_time().

Later, at post processing time, perf report/script will fetch the time
from perf file header.

Committer testing:

  # perf record -a sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.099 MB perf.data (1101 samples) ]
  [root@jouet home]# perf report --header | grep "time of "
  # time of first sample : 22947.909226
  # time of last sample : 22948.910704
  #
  # perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE\(

Changelog:

v7: Just update the patch description according to Arnaldo's suggestion.

v6: Currently '--buildid-all' is not enabled at default. So the walking
    on all samples is the default operation. There is no big overhead
    to calculate the timestamp boundary in process_sample_event handler
    once we already go through all samples. So the timestamp boundary
    calculation is enabled by default when '--buildid-all' is not enabled.

    While if '--buildid-all' is enabled, we creates a new option
    "--timestamp-boundary" for user to decide if it enables the
    timestamp boundary calculation.

v5: There is an issue that the sample walking can only work when
    '--buildid-all' is not enabled. So we need to let the walking
    be able to work even if '--buildid-all' is enabled and let the
    processing skips the dso hit marking for this case.

    At first, I want to provide a new option "--record-time-boundaries".
    While after consideration, I think a new option is not very
    necessary.

v3: Remove the definitions of first_sample_time and last_sample_time
    from struct record and directly save them in perf_evlist.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
