Currently in record mode the tool implements trace writing serially. 
The algorithm loops over mapped per-cpu data buffers and stores 
ready data chunks into a trace file using write() system call.

At some circumstances the kernel may lack free space in a buffer 
because the other buffer's half is not yet written to disk due to 
some other buffer's data writing by the tool at the moment.

Thus serial trace writing implementation may cause the kernel 
to loose profiling data and that is what observed when profiling 
highly parallel CPU bound workloads on machines with big number 
of cores.

Experiment with profiling matrix multiplication code executing 128 
threads on Intel Xeon Phi (KNM) with 272 cores, like below,
demonstrates data loss metrics value of 98%:

/usr/bin/time perf record -o /tmp/perf-ser.data -a -N -B -T -R -g \
    --call-graph dwarf,1024 --user-regs=IP,SP,BP --switch-events \
    -e cycles,instructions,ref-cycles,software/period=1,name=cs,config=0x3/Duk -- \
    matrix.gcc

Data loss metrics is the ratio lost_time/elapsed_time where 
lost_time is the sum of time intervals containing PERF_RECORD_LOST 
records and elapsed_time is the elapsed application run time 
under profiling.

Applying asynchronous trace streaming thru Posix AIO API [1] lowers 
data loss metrics value providing 2x improvement (from 98% to ~1%)

Asynchronous trace streaming is currently limited to glibc linkage.
musl libc [5] also provides Posix AIO API implementation, however 
the patchkit is not tested with it. There may be other libc libraries 
linked by Perf tool that currently lack Posix AIO API support [2], 
[3], [4] so NO_AIO define may be used to limit Perf tool binary to 
serial streaming only.

 Changes in v13:
 - named new functions with _aio_ word
 - grouped aio functions under single #ifdef HAVE_AIO_SUPPORT
 - moved perf_mmap__aio_push() stub into header
 - removed trailed white space
 Changes in v12:
 - applied stub functions design for the whole patch kit
 - grouped AIO related data into a struct under struct perf_mmap
 - implemented record__aio_get/set_pos(), record__aio_enabled()
 - implemented simple --aio option
 - extended --aio option to --aio-cblocks=<n>
 Changes in v11:
 - replacing the both lseek() syscalls in every loop iteration by the only 
   two syscalls just before and after the loop at record__mmap_read_evlist() 
   and advancing *in-flight* off file pos value at perf_mmap__aio_push()
 Changes in v10:
 - moved specific code to perf_mmap__aio_mmap(), perf_mmap__aio_munmap();
 - adjusted error reporting by using %m
 - avoided lseek() setting file pos back in case of record__aio_write() failure
 - compacted code selecting between serial and AIO streaming
 - optimized call places of record__mmap_read_sync()
 - added description of aio-cblocks option into perf-record.txt
 Changes in v9:
 - enable AIO streaming only when --aio-cblocks option is specified explicitly
 - enable AIO based implementation when linking with glibc only
 - define NO_AIO to limit Perf binary to serial implementation
 Changes in v8:
 - run the whole thing thru checkpatch.pl and corrected found issues except
   lines longer than 80 symbols
 - corrected comments alignment and formatting
 - moved multi AIO implementation into 3rd patch in the series
 - implemented explicit cblocks array allocation
 - split AIO completion check into separate record__aio_complete()
 - set nr_cblocks default to 1 and max allowed value to 4
 Changes in v7:

 - data loss metrics decreased from 25% to 2x in trialed configuration;
 - reshaped layout of data structures;
 - implemented --aio option;
 - avoided nanosleep() prior calling aio_suspend();

   switching trace file or collection stop;
 Changes in v4:
 - converted mmap()/munmap() to malloc()/free() for mmap->data buffer management
 - converted void *bf to struct perf_mmap *md in signatures
 - written comment in perf_mmap__push() just before perf_mmap__get();
 - written comment in record__mmap_read_sync() on possible restarting 
   of aio_write() operation and releasing perf_mmap object after all;
 - added perf_mmap__put() for the cases of failed aio_write();
 Changes in v3:
 - written comments about nanosleep(0.5ms) call prior aio_suspend()
   to cope with intrusiveness of its implementation in glibc;

The map->data buffer is used to preserve map->base profiling data 
for writing to disk. AIO map->cblock is used to queue corresponding 
map->data buffer for asynchronous writing.

Trace file offset is read once before mmaps iterating loop and written
back after all performance data enqueued for aio writing. Trace file offset 
is incremented linearly after every successful aio write operation. 

record__aio_sync() blocks till completion of started AIO operation 
and then proceeds.

record__aio_mmap_read_sync() implements a barrier for all incomplete
aio write requests.

Multi AIO trace writing allows caching more kernel data into userspace 
memory postponing trace writing for the sake of overall profiling data 
thruput increase. It could be seen as kernel data buffer extension into
userspace memory.

With aio option value different from 0, default value is 1, 
tool has capability to cache more and more data into user space
along with delegating spill to AIO.

That allows avoiding suspend at record__aio_sync() between calls of 
record__mmap_read_evlist() and increase profiling data thruput for 
the cost of userspace memory.

Changes in v13:
- preserved --aio option name avoiding complication
Changes in v12:
- extended --aio option to --aio-cblocks=<n>
Changes in v10:
- added description of aio-cblocks option into perf-record.txt

One question.  It seems you used a very large N in your test result.
Why did you limit it to 4 here?  Is it something different?  Maybe
you'd better making it a macro constant for future changes..

Otherwise looks good to me.  For the 3 patches

Yes, it's less than values used during metrics measurements.
There is still no good rationale behind top border value 
because currently it is a kind of implementation detail. 
Defining as a macro makes sense for easier source code management.

it stoped work with no argument:

[jolsa@krava perf]$ ./perf record --aio ls

This is the fix below. However, perf record --aio -- ls works without it.
I will resend the whole patch kit.
