<content type='text'>
Add support for parsing and validating AUX area sample options. At
present, the only option is the sample size, but it is also necessary to
ensure that events are in a group with an AUX area event as the leader.

Committer note:

Add missing 'static inline' in front of auxtrace_parse_sample_options()
for when we don't HAVE_AUXTRACE_SUPPORT.

<title>perf record: Put a copy of kcore into the perf.data directory</title>

<id>eeb399b531a1576e36016f8a7f0c50d10194e190</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new 'perf record' option '--kcore' which will put a copy of
/proc/kcore, kallsyms and modules into a perf.data directory. Note, that
without the --kcore option, output goes to a file as previously.  The
tools' -o and -i options work with either a file name or directory name.

Example:

  $ sudo perf record --kcore uname

  $ sudo tree perf.data
  perf.data
  ├── kcore_dir
  │   ├── kallsyms
  │   ├── kcore
  │   └── modules
  └── data

And into a separate util/record.h, to better isolate things and make
sure that those who use record_opts and the other moved declarations
are explicitly including the necessary header.
