This forgets to update the comment that goes with PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE.
This patch would also need an update to the manpage:

  http://git.kernel.org/cgit/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/tree/man2/perf_event_open.2

  http://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/perf_event_open.2.html

Does this compile with CONFIG_CGROUP=n ?
