From f6c7d5fe58b4846ee0cb4b98b6042489705eced4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2009 11:45:04 +0200 Subject: perf_counter: theres more to overflow than writing events Prepare for more generic overflow handling. The new perf_counter_overflow() method will handle the generic bits of the counter overflow, and can return a !0 return value, in which case the counter should be (soft) disabled, so that it won't count until it's properly disabled.
