From bed5b25ad9c8a2f5d735ef0bc746ec870c01c1b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Shishkin Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2015 12:31:06 +0200 Subject: perf: Add a pmu capability for "exclusive" events Usually, pmus that do, for example, instruction tracing, would only ever be able to have one event per task per cpu (or per perf_event_context). For such pmus it makes sense to disallow creating conflicting events early on, so as to provide consistent behavior for the user. This patch adds a pmu capability that indicates such constraint on event creation.
