From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

From: Wang Nan <wangnan0@xxxxxxxxxx>

After this patch, 'perf data convert' convert comm events to output CTF
stream.

Result:

# perf record -a sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.378 MB perf.data (73 samples) ]

# perf data convert --to-ctf ./out.ctf
[ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './out.ctf' ]
[ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 0.003 MB (73 samples) ]

# babeltrace --clock-seconds ./out.ctf/
[10627.402515791] (+?.?????????) cycles:ppp: { cpu_id = 0 }, { perf_ip = 0xFFFFFFFF81065AF4, perf_tid = 0, perf_pid = 0, perf_period = 1 }
[10627.402518972] (+0.000003181) cycles:ppp: { cpu_id = 0 }, { perf_ip = 0xFFFFFFFF81065AF4, perf_tid = 0, perf_pid = 0, perf_period = 1 }
... // only sample event is converted

# perf data convert --all --to-ctf ./out.ctf
