H A Dtwatch.pydiff 58b32c1b538f2d197ce385d6a314e83f8b787021 Mon Jul 27 15:13:21 CDT 2015 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> perf python: Make twatch.py use soft dummy event, freq=0

To not sample, what we want are just the PERF_RECORD_ lifetime events
for threads, using the default, PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE +
PERF_COUNT_HW_CYCLES and freq=1 (the default), makes perf reenable
irq_vectors:local_timer_entry, disabling nohz, not good for some use
cases where all we want is to get notifications when threads comes and
goes...

Fix it by using PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE (no counter rotation) and
PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY (created by Adrian so that we could have access to
those PERF_RECORD_ goodies).
