Subject: perf evsel: Override attr->sample_period for non-libpfm4 events
X-Git-Tag: v6.1-rc5~2137^2~4
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3606c0e1a1050d397ad759a62607e419fd8b0ccb;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-starfive.git

perf evsel: Override attr->sample_period for non-libpfm4 events

A previous patch preventing "attr->sample_period" values from being
overridden in pfm events changed a related behaviour in arm-spe.

Before said patch:

  perf record -c 10000 -e arm_spe_0// -- sleep 1

Would yield an SPE event with period=10000. After the patch, the period
in "-c 10000" was being ignored because the arm-spe code initializes
sample_period to a non-zero value.

This patch restores the previous behaviour for non-libpfm4 events.

Fixes: ae5dcc8abe31 (“perf record: Prevent override of attr->sample_period for libpfm4 events”)
