Subject: [PATCH 18/19] perf: Introduce positive capability for raw events
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2025 18:01:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <542787fd188ea15ef41c53d557989c962ed44771.1755096883.git.robin.murphy@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1755096883.git.robin.murphy@arm.com>

Only a handful of CPU PMUs accept PERF_TYPE_{RAW,HARDWARE,HW_CACHE}
events without registering themselves as PERF_TYPE_RAW in the first
place. Add an explicit opt-in for these special cases, so that we can
make life easier for every other driver (and probably also speed up the
slow-path search) by having perf_try_init_event() do the basic type
checking to cover the majority of cases.

Signed-off-by: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@arm.com>
---

A further possibility is to automatically add the cap to PERF_TYPE_RAW
PMUs in perf_pmu_register() to have a single point-of-use condition; I'm
undecided...
