Subject: [PATCH] perf core: Remove perf_event_attrs and perf_event_refresh
Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2025 14:51:37 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250716135137.247266-1-linux@treblig.org> (raw)

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <linux@treblig.org>

perf_event_refresh() has been unused since the 2015
commit f63a8daa5812 ("perf: Fix event->ctx locking")

perf_event_attrs() has been unused since the 2017
commit f91840a32dee ("perf, bpf: Add BPF support to all perf_event types")
(Note the _ prefix version is still used)

Remove them.

Signed-off-by: Dr. David Alan Gilbert <linux@treblig.org>

  This was originally sent as part of a set with a load of tools/perf
  cleanups, Ian pointed out it needed to be separate.
