Subject: perf, x86: Report error code that returned from x86_pmu.hw_config()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.35-rc1~522^2~190
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=984763cb90d4b5444baa0c3e43feff7926bf1834;p=karo-tx-linux.git

perf, x86: Report error code that returned from x86_pmu.hw_config()

If x86_pmu.hw_config() fails a fixed error code (-EOPNOTSUPP) is
returned even if a different error was reported. This patch fixes
this.
