Subject: [PATCH 4/6] perf record: Add switch-output size option argument
It's now possible to specify the threshold size for
perf.data like:
$ perf record --switch-output=2G ...
Once it's reached, the current data are dumped in to the
perf.data.<timestamp> file and session does on.
$ perf record --switch-output=2G ...
[ perf record: dump data: Woken up 7244 times ]
[ perf record: Dump perf.data.2017010214093746 ]
...
The size is expected to be a number with appended unit
character - B/K/M/G.

Generate multiple perf.data files, timestamp prefixed, switching to a new one
-when receiving a SIGUSR2.
+based on 'mode' value:
+ "signal" - when receiving a SIGUSR2 (default value) or
+ <size> - when reaching the size threshold, size is expected to
+ be a number with appended unit character - B/K/M/G
+
+ Note: the precision of the size threshold hugely depends
+ on your configuration - the number and size of your ring
+ buffers (-m). It is generally more precise for higher sizes
+ (like >5M), for lower values expect different sizes.
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
