Subject: [PATCH V2 3/5] perf util: Factor out sysctl__nmi_watchdog_enabled()
Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2020 13:59:22 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1582581564-184429-4-git-send-email-kan.liang@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1582581564-184429-1-git-send-email-kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

NMI watchdog status is required for metric group constraint examination.
Factor out sysctl__nmi_watchdog_enabled() to retrieve the NMI watchdog
status.

Users may count more than one metric groups each time. If so, the NMI
watchdog status may be retrieved several times. To reduce the overhead,
cache the NMI watchdog status.

Replace the NMI watchdog status checking in print_footer() by
sysctl__nmi_watchdog_enabled().
