Adrian Hunter 82b897782d perf: Differentiate exec() and non-exec() comm events
perf tools like 'perf report' can aggregate samples by comm strings,
which generally works.  However, there are other potential use-cases.
For example, to pair up 'calls' with 'returns' accurately (from branch
events like Intel BTS) it is necessary to identify whether the process
has exec'd.  Although a comm event is generated when an 'exec' happens
it is also generated whenever the comm string is changed on a whim
(e.g. by prctl PR_SET_NAME).  This patch adds a flag to the comm event
to differentiate one case from the other.

In order to determine whether the kernel supports the new flag, a
selection bit named 'exec' is added to struct perf_event_attr.  The
bit does nothing but will cause perf_event_open() to fail if the bit
is set on kernels that do not have it defined.
