Subject: [PATCH v4 4/4] tools/perf: Allow inherit + inherit_stat + PERF_SAMPLE_READ when opening events
This change updates evsel to allow the combination of inherit
and PERF_SAMPLE_READ.
A fallback is implemented for kernel versions where this feature is not
supported.
The user must pass --stat option to perf record to opt into this new
behaviour.
