From b90dc17a5d14a881f9bb3b58edb3d71075d58afb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wang Nan Date: Fri, 20 May 2016 16:38:23 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] perf evsel: Add overwrite attribute and check write_backward Add 'overwrite' attribute to evsel to mark whether this event is overwritable. The following commits will support syntax like: # perf record -e cycles/overwrite/ ... An overwritable evsel requires kernel support for the perf_event_attr.write_backward ring buffer feature. Add it to perf_missing_feature.
