      perf record: Add --all-user/--all-kernel options · 85723885
      Jiri Olsa authored
      Allow user to easily switch all events to user or kernel space with simple
      --all-user or --all-kernel options.
      
      This will be handy within perf mem/c2c wrappers to switch easily monitoring
      modes.
      
      Committer note:
      
      Testing it:
      
        # perf record --all-kernel --all-user -a sleep 2
         Error: option `all-user' cannot be used with all-kernel
         Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
            or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
      
              --all-user        Configure all used events to run in user space.
              --all-kernel      Configure all used events to run in kernel space.
        # perf record --all-user --all-kernel -a sleep 2
         Error: option `all-kernel' cannot be used with all-user
         Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
            or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
      
              --all-kernel      Configure all used events to run in kernel space.
              --all-user        Configure all used events to run in user space.

      perf evlist: Reference count the cpu and thread maps at set_maps() · a55e5663
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      We were dropping the reference we possibly held but not obtaining one
      for the new maps, which we will drop at perf_evlist__delete(), fix it.
      
      This was caught by Steven Noonan in some of the machines which would
      produce this output when caught by glibc debug mechanisms:
      
        $ sudo perf test 21
        21: Test object code reading                                 :***

        perf(_start+0x29)[0x42c859]
      
      Further investigation using valgrind led to the reference count imbalance fixed
      in this patch.
