Subject: [PATCH v4 1/4] perf: Support PERF_SAMPLE_READ with inherit_stat
This change allows events to use PERF_SAMPLE READ with inherit
so long as both inherit_stat and PERF_SAMPLE_TID are set.
In this configuration, an event will be inherited into any
child processes / threads, allowing convenient profiling of a
multiprocess or multithreaded application, whilst allowing
profiling tools to collect per-thread samples, in particular
of groups of counters.
