perf record: Split output into multiple files via '--switch-output'
Allow 'perf record' to split 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.<timestamp> (296 samples) ]
# ls -l
total 920

+Generate multiple perf.data files, timestamp prefixed, switching to a new one
+when receiving a SIGUSR2.
+
+A possible use case is to, given an external event, slice the perf.data file
+that gets then processed, possibly via a perf script, to decide if that
+particular perf.data snapshot should be kept or not.
