It works, many perf tools have this style, like:
perf lock record,
perf sched record,
perf kmem record,

I think the reason is that only enable the tracepoints we need to avoid
unnecessary overload so that the result is more exacter.

Actually, this array is not indexed by exit_code, it means:
table[exit_code].exit_code != exit_code.

Sorry for my careless.

Got it, will do it in the next version. Thanks Avi!
