From 5f12a761937373d2f9b557d7519e6f1cf738b8f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Rutland Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2011 12:31:20 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf: provide PMU when initing events Currently, an event's 'pmu' field is set after pmu::event_init() is called. This means that pmu::event_init() must figure out which struct pmu the event was initialised from. This makes it difficult to consolidate common event initialisation code for similar PMUs, and very difficult to implement drivers for PMUs which can have multiple instances (e.g. a USB controller PMU, a GPU PMU, etc). This patch sets the 'pmu' field before initialising the event, allowing event init code to identify the struct pmu instance easily. In the event of failure to initialise an event, the event is destroyed via kfree() without calling perf_event::destroy(), so this shouldn't result in bad behaviour even if the destroy field was set before failure to initialise was noted.
