[PATCH 4/5] perf_counter: PERF_RECORD_CONFIG

[Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>]

[-- Attachment #1: perf_counter-config.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1843 bytes --]

Much like CONFIG_RECORD_GROUP records the hw_event.config to identify the
values, allow to record this for all counters.
