    perf_counter: theres more to overflow than writing events · f6c7d5fe
    Peter Zijlstra 提交于
    Prepare for more generic overflow handling. The new perf_counter_overflow()
    method will handle the generic bits of the counter overflow, and can return
    a !0 return value, in which case the counter should be (soft) disabled, so
    that it won't count until it's properly disabled.
