    perf record: Add finished init event · 3812d298
    Adrian Hunter authored
    In preparation for recording sideband events in a virtual machine guest so
    that they can be injected into a host perf.data file.
    
    This is needed to enable injecting events after the initial synthesized
    user events (that have an all zero id sample) but before regular events.
    
    Committer notes:
    
    Add entry about PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_INIT to
    tools/perf/Documentation/perf.data-file-format.txt.
    
    Committer testing:
    
    Before:
    
      # perf report -D | grep FINISHED
      0 0x5910 [0x8]: PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND
        FINISHED_ROUND events:          1  ( 0.5%)
      #
    
    After:
    
      # perf record -- sleep 1
      [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.020 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
      # perf report -D | grep FINISHED
      0 0x5068 [0x8]: PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_INIT: unhandled!
      0 0x5390 [0x8]: PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND
        FINISHED_ROUND events:          1  ( 0.5%)
         FINISHED_INIT events:          1  ( 0.5%)
