From a86ed50859d65a08beec9474df97b88438a996df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2008 00:43:10 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perfcounters: use hw_event.disable flag Impact: implement default-off counters Make sure that counters that are created with counter.hw_event.disabled=1, get created in disabled state. They can be enabled via: prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_ENABLE); Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- kernel/perf_counter.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/kernel/perf_counter.c b/kernel/perf_counter.c index 16396e9406fa..5431e790b5d6 100644 --- a/kernel/perf_counter.c +++ b/kernel/perf_counter.c @@ -1093,6 +1093,9 @@ perf_counter_alloc(struct perf_counter_hw_event *hw_event, counter->group_leader = group_leader; counter->hw_ops = NULL; + if (hw_event->disabled) + counter->state = PERF_COUNTER_STATE_OFF; + hw_ops = NULL; if (!hw_event->raw && hw_event->type < 0) hw_ops = sw_perf_counter_init(counter);
