[PATCH v8 4/8] perf record: Introduce rec->overwrite_evlist for overwritable events
From: Wang Nan
Date: Mon Jun 20 2016 - 06:50:53 EST
Create an auxiliary evlist for overwritable events.
Before mmap, build this evlist and set 'overwrite' and 'backward'
attribute. Since perf_evlist__mmap_ex() only maps events when
evsel->overwrite matches evlist's corresponding attributes, with
these two evlists an event goes to either rec->evlist or
rec->overwrite_evlist.
