SubjectRe: [PATCH 02/37] perf record: Use a software dummy event to track task/mmap events

Are you are making this the first event because of how perf internals
are coded -- that the first event tracks tasks events? With the tracking
bit in evsel you should not need to do that. Is there another reason?

perf_evlist__set_tracking_event()?
