To not sample, what we want are just the PERF_RECORD_ lifetime events for threads, using the default, PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE + PERF_COUNT_HW_CYCLES and freq=1 (the default), makes perf reenable irq_vectors:local_timer_entry, disabling nohz, not good for some use cases where all we want is to get notifications when threads comes and goes... Fix it by using PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE (no counter rotation) and PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY (created by Adrian so that we could have access to those PERF_RECORD_ goodies).
