Adrian Hunter 16b4b4e1a0 perf record: Respect --no-switch-events
Context switch events are added automatically by Intel PT and Coresight.

Make it possible to suppress them. That is useful for tracing the
scheduler without the disturbance that the switch event processing
creates.

Example:

  Prerequisites:

    $ which perf
    ~/bin/perf
    $ sudo setcap "cap_sys_rawio,cap_sys_admin,cap_sys_ptrace,cap_syslog,cap_ipc_lock=ep" ~/bin/perf
    $ sudo chmod +r /proc/kcore

  Before:

    $ perf record --no-switch-events --kcore -a -e intel_pt//k -- sleep 0.001
    [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.938 MB perf.data ]
    $ perf script -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SWITCH | wc -l
    572

  After:

    $ perf record --no-switch-events --kcore -a -e intel_pt//k -- sleep 0.001
    Warning:
    Intel Processor Trace decoding will not be possible except for kernel tracing!
    [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.838 MB perf.data ]
    $ perf script -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SWITCH | wc -l
    0

    $ sudo chmod go-r /proc/kcore
    $ sudo setcap -r ~/bin/perf
