From 5a425294ee7d4ab5a374248e85838dfd450caf75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2012 15:30:31 +0200 Subject: perf/x86: Fix Intel shared extra MSR allocation Zheng Yan reported that event group validation can wreck event state when Intel extra_reg allocation changes event state. Validation shouldn't change any persistent state. Cloning events in validate_{event,group}() isn't really pretty either, so add a few special cases to avoid modifying the event state. The code is restructured to minimize the special case impact.
