Subject: [PATCH 39/85] perf cs-etm: Configure SWITCH_EVENTS in CPU-wide mode

From: Mathieu Poirier <mathieu.poirier@...aro.org>

Ask the perf core to generate an event when processes are swapped in/out
of context.  That way proper action can be taken by the decoding code
when faced with such event.
