Subject: [PATCH 1/5] perf trace: Setup pager before running

From: Namhyung Kim <[email protected]>

Since perf trace emits lots of messages on terminal, it'd better using
a pager.

Subject: [PATCH 4/5] perf trace: Add -a switch for --all-cpus option

From: Namhyung Kim <[email protected]>

Other perf subcommands like record, top and stat use '-a' as a
shortcut for --all-cpus option. Just follow the convention. :)

Humm, I'm used to the strace behaviour, i.e. free flow of events, unsure
if using the pager in this specific case is right, perhaps it should be
optional.

In the TUI case, when we get to implement it there, I think that we can
go to/from pager mode, expanding callchains for pagefaults and other
events, for instance.
