From 4c9e25428ff46b968a30f1dfafdba550cb6e4141 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2009 11:45:09 +0200 Subject: perf_counter: change event definition Currently the definition of an event is slightly ambiguous. We have wakeup events, for poll() and SIGIO, which are either generated when a record crosses a page boundary (hw_events.wakeup_events == 0), or every wakeup_events new records. Now a record can be either a counter overflow record, or a number of different things, like the mmap PROT_EXEC region notifications. Then there is the PERF_COUNTER_IOC_REFRESH event limit, which only considers counter overflows. This patch changes then wakeup_events and SIGIO notification to only consider overflow events. Furthermore it changes the SIGIO notification to report SIGHUP when the event limit is reached and the counter will be disabled.
