    perf tools: Enable overwrite settings · 626a6b78
    Wang Nan 提交于
    This patch allows following config terms and option:
    
    Globally setting events to overwrite;
    
      # perf record --overwrite ...
    
    Set specific events to be overwrite or no-overwrite.
    
      # perf record --event cycles/overwrite/ ...
      # perf record --event cycles/no-overwrite/ ...
    
    Add missing config terms and update the config term array size because
    the longest string length has changed.
    
    For overwritable events, it automatically selects attr.write_backward
    since perf requires it to be backward for reading.
    
    Test result:
    
      # perf record --overwrite -e syscalls:*enter_nanosleep* usleep 1
      [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data (1 samples) ]
      # perf evlist -v
      syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep: type: 2, size: 112, config: 0x134, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|RAW, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, write_backward: 1
      # Tip: use 'perf evlist --trace-fields' to show fields for tracepoint events
