perf session: Don't warn about out of order event if write_backward is used
If write_backward attribute is set, records are written into kernel
ring buffer from end to beginning, but read from beginning to end.
To avoid 'XX out of order events recorded' warning message (timestamps
of records is in reverse order when using write_backward), suppress the
warning message if write_backward is selected by at lease one event.
Result:
Before this patch:
# perf record -m 1 -e raw_syscalls:sys_exit/overwrite/ \
-e raw_syscalls:sys_enter \
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=300
300+0 records in
300+0 records out
153600 bytes (154 kB) copied, 0.000601617 s, 255 MB/s
[ perf record: Woken up 5 times to write data ]
Warning:
40 out of order events recorded.
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.096 MB perf.data (696 samples) ]
After this patch:
# perf record -m 1 -e raw_syscalls:sys_exit/overwrite/ \
-e raw_syscalls:sys_enter \
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=300
300+0 records in
