From 53b25335dd60981ad608da7890420898a34469a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vince Weaver Date: Fri, 16 May 2014 17:12:12 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Disable sampled events if no PMU interrupt Add common code to generate -ENOTSUPP at event creation time if an architecture attempts to create a sampled event and PERF_PMU_NO_INTERRUPT is set. This adds a new pmu->capabilities flag. Initially we only support PERF_PMU_NO_INTERRUPT (to indicate a PMU has no support for generating hardware interrupts) but there are other capabilities that can be added later.
