Added new logic for converting TSC event's timestamps to nanoseconds. This
trace clock is used by default in host-guest tracing session in combination
with KVM time sync plugin. The parameters for conversion are retrieved by
the perf kernel interface.
New option is added to "trace-cmd report" command to force displaying raw
time stamps from the trace file, without any corrections to the time stamps.
These changes depend on "Refactoring and improvements of time sync logic"
patch set.
v4 changes:
- Improved getting the clock for the trace session, if there is no user
specified one. The clock of the first host instance is used, instead of
the top intstane.
- Improved printing the clocks from the trace file with trace-cmd dump
command
- Fixed bugs, addressed Steven's comments.
v3 changes:
- Split logically the changes in more patches.
- Extended the TRACECLOCK option with trace clocks.
- Fixed the TRACEID option to expect at least 8 bytes, so it can be
extended in the future without breaking the old logic.
- Code cleanup and coding style fixes.
v2 changes:
- Added new trace clock "-C tsc2nsec", which does not depend on host-guest
tracing use case.
- A few minor improvements and fixes.
