Add a new 'perf record' option '--kcore' which will put a copy of
/proc/kcore, kallsyms and modules into a perf.data directory. Note, that
without the --kcore option, output goes to a file as previously. The
tools' -o and -i options work with either a file name or directory name.
Example:
$ sudo perf record --kcore uname
$ sudo tree perf.data
perf.data
├── kcore_dir
│ ├── kallsyms
│ ├── kcore
│ └── modules
└── data
$ sudo perf script -v

Samples for 'cycles' event do not have CPU attribute set. Skipping 'cpu' field.
