Implement the 'perf sched record' subcommand that adds a
default list of events, turns on raw sampling and system-wide
tracing and passes off the rest of the command to perf record.
This is more convenient than having to specify the events all
the time.
Before:
$ perf record -a -R -e sched:sched_switch:r -e sched:sched_stat_wait:r -e sched:sched_stat_sleep:r -e sched:sched_stat_iowait:r -e sched:sched_process_exit:r -e sched:sched_process_fork:r -e sched:sched_wakeup:r -e sched:sched_migrate_task:r -c 1 sleep 1
After:
$ perf sched record -f sleep 1
Also fix an assumption in the event string parser that assumed
that strings passed in can be modified. (In this case they wont
be as they come from a readonly constant section.)

Separate the option parsing cleanly and add two variants:
- 'perf sched latency' (can be abbreviated via 'perf sched lat')
- 'perf sched replay' (can be abbreviated via 'perf sched rep')
Also add a repeat count option to replay and add a separation
set of options for replay.
Do the sorting setup only in the latency sub-command.
Display separate help screens for 'perf sched' and
'perf sched replay -h' - i.e. further separation of the
sub-commands.

To measures the latencies, we capture the sched atoms data into
a specific structure named struct lat_snapshot.
As this structure can be used for other purposes of scheduler
profiling and mirrors what happens in a thread work atom, lets
rename it to struct work_atom and propagate this renaming in
other functions and structures names to keep it coherent.

- task A is sleeping (D or S state)
- task B wakes up A

latency timeframe

- task A is scheduled in
Start by recording every scheduler events:
perf record -e sched:*
and then fetch the results:
perf sched -l

perf sched raises the following error when it meets a sched
switch event:
perf: builtin-sched.c:286: register_pid: Assertion `!(pid >= 65536)' failed.
Abandon
Currently in x86-64, the sched switch events have a hole in the
middle of the structure:
u16 common_type;
u8 common_flags;
u8 common_preempt_count;
u32 common_pid;
u32 common_tgid;
char prev_comm[16];
u32 prev_pid;
u32 prev_prio;
<--- there
u64 prev_state;
char next_comm[16];
u32 next_pid;
u32 next_prio;
Gcc inserts a 4 bytes hole there for prev_state to be u64
aligned. And the events are exported to userspace with this
hole.
But in userspace, from perf sched, we fetch it using a
structure that has a new field in the beginning: u32 size. This
is because our trace is exported with its size as a field. But
now that we have this new field, the hole in the middle
disappears because it makes prev_state becoming well aligned.
And since we are using a pointer to the raw trace using this
struct, instead of reading prev_state, we are reading the hole.
We could fix it by keeping the size seperate from the struct
but actually there a lot of other potential problems: some
fields may be saved as long in a 64 bits system and later read
as long in a 32 bits system. Also this direct cast doesn't care
about the endianness differences between the host traced
machine and the machine in which we do the post processing.
So instead of using such dangerous direct casts, fetch the
values using the trace parsing API that already takes care of
all these problems.

This turn-key tool allows scheduler measurements to be
conducted and the results be displayed numerically.
First baby step towards that goal: clone the new command off of
perf trace.
Fix a few other details along the way:
- add (minimal) perf trace documentation
- reorder a few places
- list perf trace in the mainporcelain list as well
as it's a very useful utility.
