Namhyung Kim 43a6446998 perf record: Add --sample-mem-info option
There's no way to enable PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC without PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR
which brings a lot of overhead due to the number of MMAP[2] records.

Let's add a new option to enable this information separately.

Committer testing:

  # perf record -a --sample-mem-info
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.815 MB perf.data (2637 samples) ]
  #
  # perf evlist -v

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
