perf tools: Add 'evlist' control command
Add a new 'evlist' control command to display all the evlist events. When it is received, perf will scan and print current evlist into perf record terminal. The interface string for control file is: evlist [-v|-g|-F] The syntax follows perf evlist command: -F Show just the sample frequency used for each event. -v Show all fields. -g Show event group information. Example session: terminal 1: # mkfifo control ack # perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -e '{cycles,instructions}' terminal 2: # echo evlist > control terminal 1: cycles instructions dummy:HG terminal 2: # echo 'evlist -v' > control terminal 1: cycles: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: \ IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, \ sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1 instructions: size: 120, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, \ sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, inherit: 1, freq: 1, \ sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1 dummy:HG: type: 1, size: 120, config: 0x9, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, \ sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, \ comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, \ bpf_event: 1 terminal 2: # echo 'evlist -g' > control terminal 1: {cycles,instructions} dummy:HG terminal 2: # echo 'evlist -F' > control terminal 1: cycles: sample_freq=4000 instructions: sample_freq=4000 dummy:HG: sample_freq=4000 This new evlist command is handy to get real event names when wildcards are used. Adding evsel_fprintf.c object to python/perf.so build, because it's now evlist.c dependency. Adding PYTHON_PERF define for python/perf.so compilation, so we can use it to compile in only evsel__fprintf from evsel_fprintf.c object.
