perf tools: Allow to enable/disable events via control file

perf tools: Allow to enable/disable events via control file

Adding new control events to enable/disable specific event.
The interface string for control file are:

  'enable <EVENT NAME>'
  'disable <EVENT NAME>'

when received the command, perf will scan the current evlist
for <EVENT NAME> and if found it's enabled/disabled.

Example session:

  terminal 1:
    # mkfifo control ack perf.pipe
    # perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:*' -o - > perf.pipe

  terminal 2:
    # cat perf.pipe | perf --no-pager script -i -

  terminal 1:
    Events disabled

  NOTE Above message will show only after read side of the pipe ('>')
  is started on 'terminal 2'. The 'terminal 1's bash does not execute
  perf before that, hence the delyaed perf record message.

  terminal 3:
    # echo 'enable sched:sched_process_fork' > control

  terminal 1:
    event sched:sched_process_fork enabled

  terminal 2:
    bash 33349 [034] 149587.674295: sched:sched_process_fork: comm=bash pid=33349 child_comm=bash child_pid=34056
    bash 33349 [034] 149588.239521: sched:sched_process_fork: comm=bash pid=33349 child_comm=bash child_pid=34057

  terminal 3:
    # echo 'enable sched:sched_wakeup_new' > control

  terminal 1:
    event sched:sched_wakeup_new enabled

  terminal 2:
    bash 33349 [034] 149632.228023: sched:sched_process_fork: comm=bash pid=33349 child_comm=bash child_pid=34059
    bash 33349 [034] 149632.228050:   sched:sched_wakeup_new: bash:34059 [120] success=1 CPU:036
    bash 33349 [034] 149633.950005: sched:sched_process_fork: comm=bash pid=33349 child_comm=bash child_pid=34060
    bash 33349 [034] 149633.950030:   sched:sched_wakeup_new: bash:34060 [120] success=1 CPU:036

Committer testing:

If I use 'sched:*' and then enable all events, I can't get 'perf record'
to react to further commands, so I tested it with:

  [root@five ~]# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:sched_process_*' -o - > perf.pipe
  Events disabled
  Events enabled
  Events disabled

And then it works as expected, so we need to fix this pre-existing
problem.

Another issue, we need to check if a event is already enabled or
disabled and change the message to be clearer, i.e.:

  [root@five ~]# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:sched_process_*' -o - > perf.pipe
  Events disabled

If we receive a 'disable' command, then it should say:

  [root@five ~]# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:sched_process_*' -o - > perf.pipe
  Events disabled
  Events already disabled
