perf record: Support weak groups
Implement a weak group fallback for 'perf record', similar to the
existing 'perf stat' support. This allows to use groups that might be
longer than the available counters without failing.
Before:
$ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses,cache-references,cpu_clk_unhalted.thread,cycles,cycles,cycles}' -a sleep 1
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (cycles).
/bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.
After:
$ ./perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses,cache-references,cpu_clk_unhalted.thread,cycles,cycles,cycles}:W' -a sleep 1
WARNING: No sample_id_all support, falling back to unordered processing
[ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 8.136 MB perf.data (134069 samples) ]
