    perf tools: Implement counter output multiplexing · ea57c4f5

    Finish the -M/--multiplex option implementation:
    
     - separate it out from group_fd
    
     - correctly set it via the ioctl and dont mmap counters that
       are multiplexed
    
     - modify the perf record event loop to deal with buffer-less
       counters.
    
     - remove the -g option from perf sched record
    
     - account for unordered events in perf sched latency
    
     - (add -f to perf sched record to ease measurements)
    
     - skip idle threads (pid==0) in latency output
    
    The result is better latency output by 'perf sched latency':
