perf tools: Add a per tracepoint counter attribute to get raw sample
Add a new flag field while opening a tracepoint perf counter: -e tracepoint_subsystem:tracepoint_name:flags This is intended to be generic although for now it only supports the r[e[c[o[r[d]]]]] flag: ./perf record -e workqueue:workqueue_insertion:record ./perf record -e workqueue:workqueue_insertion:r will have the same effect: enabling the raw samples record for the given tracepoint counter. In the future, we may want to support further flags, separated by commas.
