If 'all' is selected, convert comm event to output CTF stream.

setup_non_sample_events() is called if non_sample is selected. It
creates a comm_class for comm event.

Use macros to generate and process_comm_event and add_comm_event. These
macros can be reused for other non-sample events.

Following commits are going to allow 'perf data convert' to collect not
only samples, but also non-sample events like comm and fork. In this
patch we count non-sample events using c.non_sample_count, and prepare
to print number of both type of events like:

  # ~/perf data convert --all --to-ctf ./out.ctf
  [ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './out.ctf' ]
  [ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 0.846 MB (6508 samples, 686 non-samples) ]

Following commits will add new option to 'perf data convert'. All options
should be grouped into a structure and passed to low level converter
(currently there's only one converter).

Introduce data-convert.h and define 'struct perf_data_convert_opts' in
it. Pass 'force' through opts.

<title>perf ctf: Convert invalid chars in a string before set value</title>

<id>5ea5888b2fbf5b230da62b2a21c8247bebb6c9cf</id>
<content type='text'>
We observed some crazy apps on Android set their comm to unprintable
string. For example:

  # cat /proc/10607/task/*/comm
  tencent.qqmusic
  ...
  Binder_2
  日志输出线  &lt;-- Chinese word 'log output thread'
  WifiManager
  ...

'perf data convert' fails to convert perf.data with such string to CTF format.

For example:

  # cat &lt;&lt; EOF &gt; ./badguy.c
  #include &lt;sys/prctl.h&gt;
  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
         prctl(PR_SET_NAME, "\xe6\x97\xa5\xe5\xbf\x97\xe8\xbe\x93\xe5\x87\xba\xe7\xba\xbf");
         while(1)
                 sleep(1);
         return 0;
  }
  EOF
  # gcc ./badguy.c
  # perf record -e sched:* ./a.out
  # perf data convert --to-ctf ./bad.ctf
  CTF stream 4 flush failed
  [ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './bad.ctf' ]
  [ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 0.008 MB (78 samples)  ]
  # babeltrace ./bad.ctf/
  [error] Packet size (18446744073709551615 bits) is larger than remaining file size (262144 bits).
  [error] Stream index creation error.

This patch converts unprintable characters to hexadecimal word.

After applying this patch the above test works correctly:

  # ~/perf data convert --to-ctf ./good.ctf
  [ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './good.ctf' ]
  [ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 0.008 MB (78 samples) ]

  ..

Committer note:

To build perf with libabeltrace, use:

  $ mkdir -p /tmp/build/perf
  $ make LIBBABELTRACE=1 LIBBABELTRACE_DIR=/usr/local O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin

Or equivalent (no O=, fixup LIBBABELTRACE_DIR, etc).

We observed some crazy apps on Android set their comm to unprintable
string. For example:

  # cat /proc/10607/task/*/comm
  tencent.qqmusic
  ...
  Binder_2
  日志输出线  &lt;-- Chinese word 'log output thread'
  WifiManager
  ...

'perf data convert' fails to convert perf.data with such string to CTF format.

For example:

  # cat &lt;&lt; EOF &gt; ./badguy.c
  #include &lt;sys/prctl.h&gt;
  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
         prctl(PR_SET_NAME, "\xe6\x97\xa5\xe5\xbf\x97\xe8\xbe\x93\xe5\x87\xba\xe7\xba\xbf");
         while(1)
                 sleep(1);
         return 0;
  }
  EOF
  # gcc ./badguy.c
  # perf record -e sched:* ./a.out
  # perf data convert --to-ctf ./bad.ctf
  CTF stream 4 flush failed
  [ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './bad.ctf' ]
  [ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 0.008 MB (78 samples)  ]
  # babeltrace ./bad.ctf/
  [error] Packet size (18446744073709551615 bits) is larger than remaining file size (262144 bits).
  [error] Stream index creation error.
  [error] Open file stream error.

  [error] Cannot open any trace for reading.

  [error] opening trace "./bad.ctf/" for reading.

  [error] none of the specified trace paths could be opened.

This patch converts unprintable characters to hexadecimal word.

After applying this patch the above test works correctly:

  # ~/perf data convert --to-ctf ./good.ctf
  [ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './good.ctf' ]
  [ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 0.008 MB (78 samples) ]
  # babeltrace ./good.ctf
  ..
