Wang Nan 86e7972f69 perf/ring_buffer: Introduce new ioctl options to pause and resume the ring-buffer ... Add new ioctl() to pause/resume ring-buffer output. In some situations we want to read from the ring-buffer only when we ensure nothing can write to the ring-buffer during reading. Without this patch we have to turn off all events attached to this ring-buffer to achieve this. This patch is a prerequisite to enable overwrite support for the perf ring-buffer support. Following commits will introduce new methods support reading from overwrite ring buffer. Before reading, caller must ensure the ring buffer is frozen, or the reading is unreliable.
