Brainstorming a bit:

Yeah, I wonder if we could have a new mode where 'perf daemon' collects
the !SAMPLE records and then a 'perf record' would collect just
PERF_RECORD_SAMPLEs, and then 'perf report' would merge things up.

A perf.data file cap for the 'perf daemon' would mean that when a 'perf
report' result looks interesting, one could press a hotkey and generate
a complete perf.data file with the !SAMPLE records needed to have it
self sufficient.

Additionally maybe we could have 'perf daemon' providing a interface to
resolve samples, returning unresolved ones for older stuff.

wdyt?
