perf record: Disallow -c and -F option at the same time
It's confusing which one is effective when the both options are given. The current code happens to use -c in this case but users might not be aware of it. We can change it to complain about that instead of relying on the implicit priority. Before: $ perf record -c 111111 -F 99 true [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data (8 samples) ] $ perf evlist -F cycles: sample_period=111111 $ After: $ perf record -c 111111 -F 99 true cannot set frequency and period at the same time $ So this change can break existing usages, but I think it's rare to have both options and it'd be better changing them.
