could you please put in here some comment that this is intentionaly
reading only the leader or better yet rename the function? I was lost
before I got to read the changelog ;-)

could we do this the same way we read group counters.. like make read
into local buffer and initialize perf_counts_values values based on
format, something like:

readn(fd, data ...

if (read_format & PERF_FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED)
count->ena = data[idx++];
if (read_format & PERF_FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING)
count->run = data[idx++];

/* value is always available */
count->val = data[idx++];
if (read_format & PERF_FORMAT_ID)
count->id = data[idx++];
if (read_format & PERF_FORMAT_LOST)
count->lost = data[idx++];


and perhaps we should cancel that perf_counts_values's union and keep
only 'val/ena/run...' fields?
