perf trace: Allow specifying a set of events to add in perfconfig
To add augmented_raw_syscalls to the events speficied by the user, or be
the only one if no events were specified by the user, one can add this
to perfconfig:
# cat ~/.perfconfig
[trace]
add_events = /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
#
I.e. pre-compile the augmented_raw_syscalls.c BPF program and make it
always load, this way:
# perf trace -e open* cat /etc/passwd > /dev/null
