Subject: perf_event: Make perf fd non seekable
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3326c1ceee234e63160852720d48be8a8f7a6d08;p=linux-beck.git

perf_event: Make perf fd non seekable

Perf_event does not need seeking, so prevent it in order to
get rid of default_llseek, which uses the BKL.
