[PATCH V4 2/5] perf: Extend perf_output_read

From: kan . liang
Date: Wed Jul 31 2024 - 10:38:32 EST


From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The event may have been updated in the PMU-specific implementation,
e.g., Intel PEBS counters snapshotting. The common code should not
read and overwrite the value.

The PERF_SAMPLE_READ in the data->sample_type can be used to detect
whether the PMU-specific value is available. If yes, avoid the
pmu->read() in the common code.
