Jiri Olsa f290aa1ffa perf record: Fix period option handling
Stephan reported we don't unset PERIOD sample type when --no-period is
specified. Adding the unset check and reset PERIOD if --no-period is
specified.

Committer notes:

Check the sample_type, it shouldn't have PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD there when
--no-period is used.

Before:

  # perf record --no-period sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
  # perf evlist -v
  cycles:ppp: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
  #

After:

[root@jouet ~]# perf record --no-period sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.019 MB perf.data (17 samples) ]
[root@jouet ~]# perf evlist -v
cycles:ppp: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
[root@jouet ~]#

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
