perf record: Add --synth option
Add an option to control the synthesizing behavior. --synth <no|all|task|mmap|cgroup> Fine-tune event synthesis: default=all This can be useful when we know it doesn't need some synthesis like in a specific usecase and/or when using pipe: $ perf record -a --all-cgroups --synth cgroup -o- sleep 1 | \ > perf report -i- -s cgroup Committer notes: Added a clarification to the man page entry for --synth that this is about pre-existing threads.
