[PATCH v2 03/17] perf tools: Configure SWITCH_EVENTS in CPU-wide mode

From: Mathieu Poirier
Date: Fri May 24 2019 - 13:40:02 EST


Ask the perf core to generate an event when processes are swapped in/out of
context. That way proper action can be taken by the decoding code when
faced with such event.
