[PATCH] perf, tools, record: Support recording running/enabled time

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Tue Feb 24 2015 - 18:13:57 EST


From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add an option to perf record to record running/enabled time
for read events, similar to what stat does.

This is useful to understand multiplexing problems.

Right now the report support is not great, but at least
report -D already supports it.
