Subject: [PATCH 15/19] perf: Simplify group validation
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2025 18:01:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8e86d5021812c720219c8843e5179fe03e5c4de4.1755096883.git.robin.murphy@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1755096883.git.robin.murphy@arm.com>
All of these drivers copy a pattern of actively policing cross-PMU
groups, which is redundant since commit bf480f938566 ("perf/core: Don't
allow grouping events from different hw pmus"). Clean up these checks to
simplfy matters, especially for thunderx2 which can reduce right down to
trivial counting.
