I tried the 'perf sched record' and then 'perf sched trace' as usage
show. but in fact, the 'perf sched' doesn't support 'trace' command now.
since the 'perf sched record' is using 'perf record -e sched:xxx' to do
record. I used 'perf record' directly. The follow info collected in 300'
on my NHM-EP for benchmark bltk-office.
