    perf record: Add clockid parameter · 814c8c38
    Peter Zijlstra authored
    Teach perf-record about the new perf_event_attr::{use_clockid, clockid}
    fields. Add a simple parameter to set the clock (if any) to be used for
    the events to be recorded into the data file.
    
    Since we store the entire perf_event_attr in the EVENT_DESC section we
    also already store the used clockid in the data file.
