[PATCHv2 0/4] perf stat: Enable group read of counters

[Jiri Olsa]

hi,
sending changes to enable group read of perf counters
for perf stat command. It allows us to read whole group
of counters within single read syscall.

v2 changes:
  - fixed release segfault reported by Arnaldo
  - rebased to latest Arnaldo's perf/core
  - patch 1 already merged in

Also available in here:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jolsa/perf.git
  perf/stat_group

Not sure why we haven't supported yet, but anyway it was
unavailable for some time due to a bug which was fixed
just recently via:
  ba5213ae6b88 ("perf/core: Correct event creation with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP")

thanks,
jirka
