Subject: [PATCH] perf: Add support for exclusive groups/events
Peter suggested that using the exclusive mode in perf could
avoid some problems with bad scheduling of groups. Exclusive
is implemented in the kernel, but wasn't exposed by the perf tool,
so hard to use without custom low level API users.
Add support for marking groups or events with :e for exclusive
in the perf tool. The implementation is basically the same as the
existing pinned attribute.

S - read sample value (PERF_SAMPLE_READ)
D - pin the event to the PMU
W - group is weak and will fallback to non-group if not schedulable,
+ e - group or event are exclusive and do not share the PMU
The 'p' modifier can be used for specifying how precise the instruction
address should be. The 'p' modifier can be specified multiple times:
