Subject[BUG(?)] perf_events: combining multiple tracepoint events into a group produces no counts on member events

Hi,

I'm not sure that what I'm seeing is a bug, or was something intentional.

If I place multiple tracepoint events into a group and measure counts of
these events on a process, I get no counts for the tracepoint events
other than the group leader.

Is this expected behavior?

It's not clear to me why this should be the case; grouping shouldn't
have any ill effects on tracepoint events, from my understanding.

I noticed this because my private version of the perf tool has the event
group patch https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/24/584 as well as the patch
which fixes the parsing of multiple tracepoint events in the same -e
switch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/30/460

When I dig into the code a bit, I find that each event opens
successfully, so that's not the problem. If I disable the grouping,
then I get counts for all of the tracepoint events.

- Corey
