perf kmem: Add option to specify time window of interest
Add option to allow user to control analysis window. e.g., collect data
for time window and analyze a segment of interest within that window.
Committer notes:
Testing it:
# perf kmem record usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.540 MB perf.data (2049 samples) ]
# perf evlist
kmem:kmalloc
kmem:kmalloc_node
kmem:kfree
kmem:kmem_cache_alloc
kmem:kmem_cache_alloc_node
kmem:kmem_cache_free
# Tip: use 'perf evlist --trace-fields' to show fields for tracepoint events
#
# # Use 'perf script' to get a first approach, select a chunk for then using
# # with 'perf kmem stat --time'
#
# perf script | tail -15
