    perf/x86: Simplify x86_pmu.get_constraints() interface · 21d65555
    Peter Zijlstra 提交于
    There is a special case for validate_events() where we'll call
    x86_pmu.get_constraints(.idx=-1). It's purpose, up until recent, seems
    to be to avoid taking a previous constraint from
    cpuc->event_constraint[] in intel_get_event_constraints().
    
    (I could not find any other get_event_constraints() implementation
    using @idx)
    
    However, since that cpuc is freshly allocated, that array will in fact
    be initialized with NULL pointers, achieving the very same effect.
    
    Therefore remove this exception.
