[PATCH v2 05/17] perf tools: Add handling of switch-CPU-wide events

From: Mathieu Poirier
Date: Fri May 24 2019 - 13:39:50 EST


Add handling of SWITCH-CPU-WIDE events in order to add the tid/pid of the
incoming process to the perf tools machine infrastructure. This
information is later retrieved when a contextID packet is found in the
trace stream.
