[PATCH] perf, x86: Enable PEBS mode automatically for mem-{loads,stores} v3

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[The patch to enable this in the user tools has been sent separately]

With the earlier patches to automatically try cpu// and add
a precise sys attribute, we can now enable PEBS for the mem-loads,
mem-stores events everywhere.

This allows to use

perf record -e mem-loads ...

instead of

perf record -e cpu/mem-loads/p ...

Always use precise=2 even though it is costly pre-Haswell

Cc: eranian@xxxxxxxxxx
v2: Different white space
v3: Always use precise=2, as people seem to think overhead doesn't matter.
