Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Return EINVAL when precise_ip perf events are requested on Arm
Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2020 10:58:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200115105855.13395-2-james.clark@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200115105855.13395-1-james.clark@arm.com>
ARM PMU events can be delivered with arbitrary skid, and there's
nothing the kernel can do to prevent this. Given that, the PMU
cannot support precise_ip != 0.
Also update comment to state that attr.config field is used to
set the event type rather than event_id which doesn't exist.
