Teach perf-record about the new perf_event_attr::{use_clockid, clockid}
fields. Add a simple parameter to set the clock (if any) to be used for
the events to be recorded into the data file.

Since we store the entire perf_event_attr in the EVENT_DESC section we
also already store the used clockid in the data file.


I am clearly missing some kernel patch to try out this perf patch. I have the 4 timekeeper ones; none of those modify perf_event code. What other patches are needed? Was this one (or some variant) accepted:

Perhaps a better question is what tree has all of the kernel side patches?
