Looks like these are advanced options.  If so, I think it's better to
split them to a different changeset so that the main change remains
simpler, smaller and easier to review.

I think it's not working currently..  Even with massaging of the decl
shadow errors, I still wasn't able to run it due to some errors.  Please
see below..

I guess you need to get rid of all "-e" part in the arrays as you add it
automatically below, otherwise I saw following errors:

  $ perf timechart record -I
  invalid or unsupported event: '-e'
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
  
   usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
  
      -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events



> +		"-e", "syscalls:sys_enter_pread64",

And even with above change, it still failed to run since it seems my
system doesn't have the pread64 syscall:

  $ perf timechart record -I
  invalid or unsupported event: 'syscalls:sys_enter_pread64'
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
  
   usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
  
      -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events


Then I stopped to test/review.  I'll review if you send v2 with fixes.

Thanks,
Namhyung
