[PATCH 3.4 030/125] perf: Fix inherited events vs. tracepoint filters

Show all headers | View raw

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

3.4.113-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit b71b437eedaed985062492565d9d421d975ae845 upstream.

Arnaldo reported that tracepoint filters seem to misbehave (ie. not
apply) on inherited events.

The fix is obvious; filters are only set on the actual (parent)
event, use the normal pattern of using this parent event for filters.
This is safe because each child event has a reference to it.
