From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Andrew Murray Subject: [PATCH v3 04/12] alpha: perf/core: use PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2018 16:47:21 +0000 Message-ID: <1544114849-47266-5-git-send-email-andrew.murray@arm.com> References: <1544114849-47266-1-git-send-email-andrew.murray@arm.com> Return-path: In-Reply-To: <1544114849-47266-1-git-send-email-andrew.murray@arm.com> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: Peter Zijlstra , Ingo Molnar , Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo , Richard Henderson , Ivan Kokshaysky , Matt Turner , Will Deacon , Mark Rutland , Shawn Guo , Sascha Hauer , Benjamin Herrenschmidt , Paul Mackerras , Thomas Gleixner , Borislav Petkov , Russell King , suzuki.poulose@arm.com, robin.murphy@arm.com, Michael Ellerman Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, linux-alpha@vger.kernel.org, linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org, linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org, x86@kernel.org As the Alpha PMU doesn't support context exclusion let's advertise the PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE capability. This ensures that perf will prevent us from handling events where any exclusion flags are set. Let's also remove the now unnecessary check for exclusion flags. This change means that __hw_perf_event_init will now also indicate that it doesn't support exclude_host and exclude_guest and will now implicitly return -EINVAL instead of -EPERM. This is likely more desirable as -EPERM will result in a kernel.perf_event_paranoid related warning from the perf userspace utility.
