[v4,00/20] Trace file version 7 - compression

Message

Tzvetomir Stoyanov (VMware) Nov. 11, 2021, 3:11 p.m. UTC

Introduced compression of the metadata and trace data in trace files version
7. The compression is optional and disabled by default. A new parameter of
"trace-cmd record" is introduced, which can be used to configure the trace
file compression:
 --compression < none / any / name of the desired algorithm >

This patch-set depends on:
 "trace-cmd fixes and clean-ups" patch set.
 "Refactor APIs for creating output handler" patch set.
 "Refactor the logic for writing trace data in the file" patch set.
 "Trace file version 7 - sections" patch set.

v4 changes:
 - Rebased on top of the latest master.
v3 changes:
 - Rebased on top of the latest master.
v2 changes:
 - fixed issues of split and convert commands with some corner cases
