hi,
this patchset adds the --dir option to record command (and all
the other record command that overload cmd_record) that allows
the data to be stored in directory with multiple data files.

It's next step for multiple threads implementation in record.
It's now possible to make directory data via --dir option, like:

  $ perf record --dir perf bench sched messaging
  $ ls -l perf.data
  total 344
  -rw-------. 1 jolsa jolsa 43864 Jan 20 22:26 data.0
  -rw-------. 1 jolsa jolsa 30464 Jan 20 22:26 data.1
  -rw-------. 1 jolsa jolsa 53816 Jan 20 22:26 data.2
  -rw-------. 1 jolsa jolsa 30368 Jan 20 22:26 data.3
  -rw-------. 1 jolsa jolsa 40088 Jan 20 22:26 data.4
  -rw-------. 1 jolsa jolsa 42592 Jan 20 22:26 data.5
  -rw-------. 1 jolsa jolsa 56136 Jan 20 22:26 data.6
  -rw-------. 1 jolsa jolsa 25992 Jan 20 22:26 data.7
  -rw-------. 1 jolsa jolsa  8832 Jan 20 22:26 header

There's a data file created for every cpu and it's storing
data for those cpu maps. The report command will read it
transparently, sort it and display as single file data.

There's new DIR_FORMAT feature to describe directory data
layout/format. In future we can describe different data files
layout according to special needs.

It's possible to transform directory data into standard
perf.data file via simple inject command:
    
  $ perf inject -o perf.data.file -i perf.data

The old perf fails over the directory data with following message:
  $ perf report
  incompatible file format (rerun with -v to learn more)

I'm now testing the record threads support, so I'd like to
have some agreement on the directory data support before.

v3 changes:
  - add rm_rf_perf_data to safely remove file/directory perf data
  - allocation fix in perf_data__create_dir

v2 changes:
  - rm_rf changes are already accepted with requested changes
  - updated doc/man plus adding perf.data-directory-format.txt
    to describe directory format/layout
  - the --switch-output options now works over directory data
  - data rollback is not part of this patchset, updated my TODO though ;-)
  - added --output-dir option to combine -o and --dir
  - added DIR_FORMAT feature to describe directory data
  - disabling directory output for aio for now

It's also available in here:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jolsa/perf.git
  perf/dir

thanks,
jirka
