[PATCH v9 14/24] perf record: Implement compatibility checks

Alexey Bayduraev
2021-07-02T12:33:22Z

Implement compatibility checks for other modes and related command line
options: asynchronous (--aio) trace streaming and affinity (--affinity)
modes, pipe mode, AUX area tracing --snapshot and --aux-sample options,
--switch-output, --switch-output-event, --switch-max-files and
--timestamp-filename options. Parallel data streaming is compatible with
Zstd compression (--compression-level) and external control commands
(--control). Cpu mask provided via -C option filters --threads
specification masks.
