Subject: PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT
Date: Tue, 01 Oct 2013 22:11:56 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <524B1E7C.3070108@intel.com> (raw)

Hi

It does not seem possible to use set-output between
task contexts of different types (e.g. a software event
to a hardware event)

If you look at perf_event_set_output():

           /*
            * If its not a per-cpu rb, it must be the same task.
            */
           if (output_event->cpu == -1 && output_event->ctx != event->ctx)
                   goto out;

ctx (perf_event_context) won't be the same for events
of different types.  Is this restriction necessary?

Regards
Adrian
