    perf daemon: Add 'signal' command · 2d6914cd
    Jiri Olsa authored
    Allow the 'perf daemon' to send SIGUSR2 to all running sessions or just
    to a specific session.
    
    Example:
    
      # cat ~/.perfconfig
      [daemon]
      base=/opt/perfdata
    
      [session-cycles]
      run = -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
    
      [session-sched]
      run = -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a
    
    Start the daemon:
    
      # perf daemon start
    
    Send signal to all running sessions:
    
      # perf daemon signal
      signal 12 sent to session 'cycles [773738]'
      signal 12 sent to session 'sched [773739]'
    
    Or to specific one:
    
      # perf daemon signal --session sched
      signal 12 sent to session 'sched [773739]'
    
    And verify signals were delivered and perf.data dumped:
    
      # cat /opt/perfdata/session-cycles/output
      rounding mmap pages size to 32M (8192 pages)
      [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
      [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2021010220382490 ]
    
      # car /opt/perfdata/session-sched/output
      rounding mmap pages size to 32M (8192 pages)
      [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
      [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2021010220382489 ]
      [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
      [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2021010220393745 ]
