perf record: Set timestamp boundary for AUX area events
AUX area data is not processed by 'perf record' and consequently the
--timestamp-boundary option may result in no values for "time of first
sample" and "time of last sample". However there are non-sample events
that can be used instead, namely 'itrace_start' and 'aux'.
'itrace_start' is issued before tracing starts, and 'aux' is issued
every time data is ready.
Implement tool callbacks for those two for 'perf record', to update the
timestamp boundary.
Example:
$ perf record -e intel_pt//u --timestamp-boundary uname
Linux
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.022 MB perf.data ]
$ perf script --header-only | grep "time of"
# time of first sample : 4574.835541
# time of last sample : 4574.835907
$ perf script --itrace=be -F-ip | head -1
uname 13752 [001] 4574.835589: 1 branches:uH:
$ perf script --itrace=be -F-ip | tail -1
