Subject: perf_counter: counter overflow limit
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.31-rc1~383^2~399
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=79f146415623fe74f39af67c0f6adc208939a410;p=profile%2Fivi%2Fkernel-adaptation-intel-automotive.git

perf_counter: counter overflow limit

Provide means to auto-disable the counter after 'n' overflow events.

Create the counter with hw_event.disabled = 1, and then issue an
ioctl(fd, PREF_COUNTER_IOC_REFRESH, n); to set the limit and enable
the counter.
