    \class QBenchmarkPerfEvents
    \brief The Linux perf events benchmark backend

    This benchmark backend uses the Linux Performance Counters interface,
    introduced with the Linux kernel v2.6.31. The interface is done by one
    system call (perf_event_open) which takes an attribute structure and
    returns a file descriptor.

    More information:
     \li design docs: tools/perf/design.txt <http://lxr.linux.no/linux/tools/perf/design.txt>
     \li sample tool: tools/perf/builtin-stat.c <http://lxr.linux.no/linux/tools/perf/builtin-stat.c>
    (note: as of v3.3.1, the documentation is out-of-date with the kernel
    interface, so reading the source code of existing tools is necessary)

    This benchlib backend monitors the current process as well as child process
    launched. We do not try to benchmark in kernel or hypervisor mode, as that
    usually requires elevated privileges.
