From 3df5edad87a998273aa5a9a8c728c05d855ad00e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 8 May 2009 18:52:22 +0200 Subject: perf_counter: rework ioctl()s Corey noticed that ioctl()s on grouped counters didn't work on the whole group. This extends the ioctl() interface to take a second argument that is interpreted as a flags field. We then provide PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP to toggle the behaviour. Having this flag gives the greatest flexibility, allowing you to individually enable/disable/reset counters in a group, or all together.
