int perf_evlist__toggle_paused(struct perf_evlist *evlist, bool pause)

Humm, toggle means, 1 -> 0 or 0 -> 1, not set(n), i.e. you either call
this:

int perf_evlist__toggle_paused(struct perf_evlist *evlist)

and keep an evsel->paused that starts with false and then you, in this
function, use:

	err = ioctl(fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT, evsel->pause ? 1 : 0);
	if (!err)
		evsel->paused = !evsel->paused;
      

Or:

int perf_evlist__set_paused(struct perf_evlist *evlist, bool pause)

and do as you did below.

And you could do, to make it shorter, more intuitive:

	static inline int perf_evlist__pause(struct perf_evlist *evlist)
	{
		return perf_evlist__set_paused(evlist, true);
	}

	static inline int perf_evlist__continue(struct perf_evlist *evlist)
	{
		return perf_evlist__set_paused(evlist, false);
	}

I applied the first two patches.
