Subject: perf evlist: Use PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID perf ioctl to read event id
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e2b5abe0c82b45980b95ead22678861a2013c0df;p=linux-beck.git

perf evlist: Use PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID perf ioctl to read event id

Changing the way we retrieve the event ID. Instead of parsing out
the ID out of the read data, using the PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID ioctl.

Keeping the old way in place to support kernels without
PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID ioctl support.

This will be useful for retrieving the event ID for events
with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format set, where it's impossible
to get correct event id out of the read call data.
