perf evsel: Assemble off-cpu samples

Use the data in bpf-output samples, to assemble off-cpu samples.

In evsel__is_offcpu_event(), check if sample_type is PERF_SAMPLE_RAW to
support off-cpu sample data created by an older version of perf.

Testing compatibility on off-cpu samples collected by perf before this patch series:

See below, the sample_type still uses PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN

$ perf script --header -i ./perf.data.ptn | grep "event : name = offcpu-time"
 # event : name = offcpu-time, , id = { 237917, 237918, 237919, 237920 }, type = 1 (software), size = 136, config = 0xa (PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT), { sample_period, sample_freq } = 1, sample_type = IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|IDENTIFIER, read_format = ID|LOST, disabled = 1, freq = 1, sample_id_all = 1

The output is correct.

  $ perf script -i ./perf.data.ptn | grep offcpu-time
  gmain    2173 [000] 18446744069.414584:  100102015 offcpu-time:
  NetworkManager     901 [000] 18446744069.414584:    5603579 offcpu-time:
  Web Content 1183550 [000] 18446744069.414584:      46278 offcpu-time:
  gnome-control-c 2200559 [000] 18446744069.414584: 11998247014 offcpu-time:
  <SNIP>
  $

And after this patch series:

  $ perf script --header -i ./perf.data.off-cpu-v9 | grep "event : name = offcpu-time"
   # event : name = offcpu-time, , id = { 237959, 237960, 237961, 237962 }, type = 1 (software), size = 136, config = 0xa (PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT), { sample_period, sample_freq } = 1, sample_type = IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|RAW|IDENTIFIER, read_format = ID|LOST, disabled = 1, freq = 1, sample_id_all = 1

  $ ./perf script -i ./perf.data.off-cpu-v9 | grep offcpu-time
  gnome-shell    1875 [001] 4789616.361225:  100097057 offcpu-time:
  gnome-shell    1875 [001] 4789616.461419:  100107463 offcpu-time:
      firefox 2206821 [002] 4789616.475690:  255257245 offcpu-time:
  $

Committer testing:

The command to record those samples:

  root@number:~# perf record --off-cpu -a sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.092 MB perf.data (1552 samples) ]
  root@number:~#

Then, before this patch series, the sample_type for the "offcpu-time" event is:

  root@number:~# perf evlist -v | grep offcpu-time
  offcpu-time: type: 1 (PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE), size: 136, config: 0xa (PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT), { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID|LOST, disabled: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1
  root@number:~#

And after it, after recording it again:

  root@number:~# perf record --off-cpu -a sleep 1 ; perf evlist -v | grep offcpu-time
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.151 MB perf.data (2843 samples) ]
  offcpu-time: type: 1 (PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE), size: 136, config: 0xa (PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT), { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID|LOST, disabled: 1, sample_id_all: 1
  root@number:~#
