In order to be able to distinguish between no samples due to inactivity and no samples due to task ended, Arjan asked for PERF_EVENT_EXIT events. This is useful to the boot delay instrumentation (bootchart) app. This patch changes the PERF_EVENT_FORK to be emitted on every clone, and adds PERF_EVENT_EXIT to be emitted on task exit, after the task's counters have been closed. This task tracing is controlled through: attr.comm || attr.mmap and through the new attr.task field.
