After converting perf.data to CTF, we lost pid-tid-comm mapping. Which
makes inconvience. For example, in perf script output we know which
process issue an event like this:

 compiz 19361 [001] 3275709.313929:  raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 7 = 0

After converting to CTF, we only get this:

  [3275709.313929985] (+0.110646118) raw_syscalls:sys_exit: { cpu_id = 1 }, { perf_ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8107B2E8, perf_tid = 19361, perf_pid = 19361, perf_id = 18920, perf_period = 1, common_type = 16, common_flags = 0, common_preempt_count = 1, common_pid = 19361, id = 7, ret = 0 }

Currently, if we want to find the name and parent of a process, we
have to collect 'sched:sched_switch' event.

This patch set add a '--all' option to 'perf convert', converts comm,
fork and exit events to CTF output. CTF user now can track the mapping
by their own.

Wang Nan (6):
  perf ctf: Add value_set_string() helper
  perf ctf: Pass convert options through structure
  perf ctf: Add non_sample option
  perf ctf: Generate comm event to CTF output
  perf ctf: Add '--all' option for 'perf data convert'
  perf ctf: Generate fork and exit events to CTF output
