From e6dab5ffab59e910ec0e3355f4a6f29f7a7be474 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Vagin Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2012 18:14:58 +0400 Subject: perf/trace: Add ability to set a target task for events A few events are interesting not only for a current task. For example, sched_stat_* events are interesting for a task which wakes up. For this reason, it will be good if such events will be delivered to a target task too. Now a target task can be set by using __perf_task(). The original idea and a draft patch belongs to Peter Zijlstra. I need these events for profiling sleep times. sched_switch is used for getting callchains and sched_stat_* is used for getting time periods. These events are combined in user space, then it can be analyzed by perf tools.

Use explicit refcount of its own instead. Deal with the race between the final reference to event going away and new children getting created for it by use of atomic_long_inc_not_zero() in inherit_event(); just have the latter free what it had allocated and return NULL, that works out just fine (children of siblings of something doomed are created as singletons, same as if the child of leader had been created and immediately killed).

This patch calls __perf_event_disable() when interrupts are already disabled, instead of perf_event_disable().
