perf script: Allow specifying event to switch on processing of other events

Browse Source 
Sometime we want to only consider events after something happens, so
allow discarding events till such events is found, e.g.:

Record all scheduler tracepoints and the sys_enter_nanosleep syscall
event for the 'sleep 1' workload:

  # perf record -e sched:*,syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 31 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.032 MB perf.data (10 samples) ]
  #

So we have these events in the generated perf data file:

  # perf evlist
  sched:sched_kthread_stop
  sched:sched_kthread_stop_ret
  sched:sched_waking
  sched:sched_wakeup
  sched:sched_wakeup_new
  sched:sched_switch
  sched:sched_migrate_task
  sched:sched_process_free
  sched:sched_process_exit
  sched:sched_wait_task
  sched:sched_process_wait
  sched:sched_process_fork
  sched:sched_process_exec
  sched:sched_stat_wait
  sched:sched_stat_sleep
  sched:sched_stat_iowait
  sched:sched_stat_blocked
  sched:sched_stat_runtime
  sched:sched_pi_setprio
  sched:sched_move_numa
  sched:sched_stick_numa
  sched:sched_swap_numa
  sched:sched_wake_idle_without_ipi
  syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep
  # Tip: use 'perf evlist --trace-fields' to show fields for tracepoint events
  #

Then show all of the events that actually took place in this 'perf record' session:

  # perf script
          :13637 13637 [002] 108237.581529:            sched:sched_waking: comm=perf pid=13638 prio=120 target_cpu=001

           sleep 13638 [001] 108237.581992:      sched:sched_process_exec: filename=/usr/bin/sleep pid=13638 old_pid=13638

           sleep 13638 [001] 108237.582291:            sched:sched_switch: sleep:13638 [120] S ==> swapper/1:0 [120]
         swapper     0 [001] 108238.582428:            sched:sched_waking: comm=sleep pid=13638 prio=120 target_cpu=001
         swapper     0 [001] 108238.582458:            sched:sched_wakeup: sleep:13638 [120] success=1 CPU:001
           sleep 13638 [001] 108238.582698:      sched:sched_stat_runtime: comm=sleep pid=13638 runtime=173915 [ns] vruntime=202889633471 [ns]

  #

Now lets see only the ones that took place after a certain "marker":

  # perf script --switch-on syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep
           sleep 13638 [001] 108237.582289:      sched:sched_stat_runtime: comm=sleep pid=13638 runtime=578104 [ns] vruntime=202889459556 [ns]

         swapper     0 [001] 108238.582428:            sched:sched_waking: comm=sleep pid=13638 prio=120 target_cpu=001
         swapper     0 [001] 108238.582458:            sched:sched_wakeup: sleep:13638 [120] success=1 CPU:001
           sleep 13638 [001] 108238.582698:      sched:sched_stat_runtime: comm=sleep pid=13638 runtime=173915 [ns] vruntime=202889633471 [ns]
           sleep 13638 [001] 108238.582782:      sched:sched_process_exit: comm=sleep pid=13638 prio=120
