Subject: [PATCH 02/44] perf record: Allow to limit number of reported perf.data files
From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>
When doing long term recording and waiting for some event to snapshot
on, we often only care about the last minute or so.
The --switch-output command line option supports rotating the perf.data
file when the size exceeds a threshold. But the disk would still be
filled with unnecessary old files.
Add a new option to only keep a number of rotated files, so that the
disk space usage can be limited.
