Leo, please remove touching the kernel perf_event.h on the first patch,
I see it doesn't affect the kernel right now as it is done just from
synthesizing perf records from hw trace data, and we haven't received
any review comment from Peter Zijlstra (I think he is in vacations).

Also please refresh it:
