Subject[PATCH 03/11] perf: Do not get values from disabled counters in group format read
Date
From: "jolsa@redhat.com" <jolsa@redhat.com>

It's possible some of the counters in the group could be
disabled when sampling member of the event group is reading
the rest via PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing. Disabled
counters could then produce wrong numbers.

Fixing that by reading only enabled counters for PERF_SAMPLE_READ
sample type processing.
