[PATCH 32/41] perf evsel: Add 'no_aux_samples' option

From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Mon Jul 14 2014 - 06:11:43 EST


Add an option to prevent additional
samples being added to a selected
event by perf_evsel__config().

This is needed when using the sched_switch
tracepoint to follow object code execution.
Since sched_switch will be used only for
switch information, additional sampling is
wasteful.
