From bb93ad5d30517e917aec4062c97c7712c4acaa0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2013 19:04:19 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 7698/1: perf: fix group validation when using enable_on_exec commit cb2d8b342aa084d1f3ac29966245dec9163677fb upstream. Events may be created with attr->disabled == 1 and attr->enable_on_exec == 1, which confuses the group validation code because events with the PERF_EVENT_STATE_OFF are not considered candidates for scheduling, which may lead to failure at group scheduling time. This patch fixes the validation check for ARM, so that events in the OFF state are still considered when enable_on_exec is true.
