[RFC PATCH v12 6/8] perf stat: Add command line option for enabling tpebs recording

[weilin . wang]

From: Weilin Wang <weilin.wang@xxxxxxxxx>

With this command line option, tpebs recording is turned off in perf stat on
default. It will only be turned on when this option is given in perf stat
command.

Exampe with --enable-tpebs-recording:

perf stat -M tma_dtlb_store -a --enable-tpebs-recording sleep 1

[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
