[PATCH 36/53] perf record: Split output into multiple files via '--switch-output'

[Wang Nan]

Allow 'perf record' splits its output into multiple files.

For example:

 # ~/perf record -a --timestamp-filename --switch-output &
 [1] 10763
 # kill -s SIGUSR2 10763
 [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
 # [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2015122622314468 ]

 # kill -s SIGUSR2 10763
 [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
 # [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2015122622314762 ]

 # kill -s SIGUSR2 10763
 [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
 #[ perf record: Dump perf.data.2015122622315171 ]

 # fg
 perf record -a --timestamp-filename --switch-output
 ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2015122622315513 ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.014 MB perf.data (296 samples) ]

 # ls -l
 total 920

 -rw------- 1 root root  19220 Dec 26 22:31 perf.data.2015122622315513
