perf tools: Enable overwrite settings
This patch allows following config terms and option:
Globally setting events to overwrite;
# perf record --overwrite ...
Set specific events to be overwrite or no-overwrite.
# perf record --event cycles/overwrite/ ...
# perf record --event cycles/no-overwrite/ ...
Add missing config terms and update the config term array size because
the longest string length has changed.
For overwritable events, it automatically selects attr.write_backward
since perf requires it to be backward for reading.
Test result:
# perf record --overwrite -e syscalls:*enter_nanosleep* usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data (1 samples) ]
# perf evlist -v
syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep: type: 2, size: 112, config: 0x134, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|RAW, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, write_backward: 1
# Tip: use 'perf evlist --trace-fields' to show fields for tracepoint events
