Currently the record command sets all events initially as disabled.
There's non conditional perf_evlist__enable call, that enables all
events before we exec tracee program. That actually screws whole
enable_on_exec logic, because the event is enabled before the traced
program got executed.
What we actually want is:
1) For any type of traced program:
- all independent events and group leaders are disabled
- all group members are enabled
Group members are ruled by group leaders. They need to
be enabled, because the group scheduling relies on that.
2) For traced programs executed by perf:
- all independent events and group leaders have
enable_on_exec set
- we don't specifically enable or disable any event during
the record command
Independent events and group leaders are initially disabled
and get enabled by exec. Group members are ruled by group
leaders as stated in 1).
3) For traced programs attached by perf (pid/tid):
- we specifically enable or disable all events during
the record command
When attaching events to already running traced we
enable/disable events specifically, as there's no
initial traced exec call.
Fixing appropriate perf_event_attr test case to cover this change.

The struct perf_event_attr test (attr tests) support
====================================================
This testing support is embedded into perf directly and is governed
by the PERF_TEST_ATTR environment variable and hook inside the
sys_perf_event_open function.
The general idea is to store 'struct perf_event_attr' details for
each event created within single perf command. Each event details
are stored into separate text file. Once perf command is finished
these files are checked for values we expect for command.
The attr tests consist of following parts:
tests/attr.c
------------
This is the sys_perf_event_open hook implementation. The hook
is triggered when the PERF_TEST_ATTR environment variable is
defined. It must contain name of existing directory with access
and write permissions.
For each sys_perf_event_open call event details are stored in
separate file. Besides 'struct perf_event_attr' values we also
store 'fd' and 'group_fd' values to allow checking for groups.
tests/attr.py
-------------
This is the python script that does all the hard work. It reads
the test definition, executes it and checks results.
tests/attr/
-----------
Directory containing all attr test definitions.
Following tests are defined (with perf commands):
perf record kill (test-record-basic)
perf record -b kill (test-record-branch-any)
perf record -j any kill (test-record-branch-filter-any)
