[PATCH 0/7] perf tools: Add switch-output size and time threshold options

[Jiri Olsa]

hi,
adding a way to configure switch data output
for size and time, like:

  $ sudo perf record -e 'sched:*' --switch-output=10M -avg
  callchain: type FP
  switch-output with 10M size threshold
  mmap size 528384B
  [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 37 times ]
  [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2017010309135512 ]
  [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 39 times ]
  [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2017010309135771 ]
  [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 38 times ]
  [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2017010309140005 ]
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 16 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2017010309140111 ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.748 MB perf.data.<timestamp> ]
  ...

the default for switch-output option stays
and does the SIGUSR2 output switch

thanks,
