Subject[PATCH 53/54] perf record: Allow generate tracking events at the end of output
Date
Before this patch tracking events are generated based on information in
/proc before all samples. However, with the introducing of overwrite
evsel in perf record, it becomes inconvenience: 'perf record' now can
executed as a daemon for sereval hours and only capture the last
snapshot when it receives SIGUSR2. The tracking events generated at
the head of output 'perf.data' becomes too old, but most of tracking
events during 'perf record' running are dropped.

This patch generates tracking events at the end of output. The output
events series would better reflecting status of system when SIGUSR2
received.
