Subject: [PATCH 00/11] perf tool: Add PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample read support

hi,
adding support to read sample values through the PERF_SAMPLE_READ
sample type. It's now possible to specify 'S' modifier for an event
and get its sample value by PERF_SAMPLE_READ.

For group the 'S' modifier will enable sampling only for the leader
and read all the group member by PERF_SAMPLE_READ smple type with
PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format.

This patchset is based on group report patches by Namhyung Kim:
http://lwn.net/Articles/518569/

Example:
(making sample on cycles, reading both cycles and cache-misses
 by PERF_SAMPLE_READ/PERF_FORMAT_GROUP)

  # ./perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses}:S' ls
  ...

  # ./perf report --group --show-total-period --stdio
  # ========
  # captured on: Sat Oct 20 16:53:39 2012
  ...
  # group: {cycles,cache-misses}
  # ========
  #
  # Samples: 86  of event 'anon group { cycles, cache-misses }'
  # Event count (approx.): 34863674
  #
