    This bring the support for raw syscall events in perfcounters.
    The arguments or exit value are saved as a raw sample using
    the PERF_SAMPLE_RAW attribute in a perf counter.
    
    Example (for now you must explicitly set the PERF_SAMPLE_RAW flag
    in perf record):
    
    perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_open -f -F 1 -a
    perf report -D
    
    	0x2cbb8 [0x50]: event: 9
    	.
    	. ... raw event: size 80 bytes
    	.  0000:  09 00 00 00 02 00 50 00 20 e9 39 ab 0a 7f 00 00  ......P. .9....
