From 4dc0da86967d5463708631d02a70cfed5b104884 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 18:42:35 +0300 Subject: perf: Add context field to perf_event The perf_event overflow handler does not receive any caller-derived argument, so many callers need to resort to looking up the perf_event in their local data structure. This is ugly and doesn't scale if a single callback services many perf_events. Fix by adding a context parameter to perf_event_create_kernel_counter() (and derived hardware breakpoints APIs) and storing it in the perf_event. The field can be accessed from the callback as event->overflow_handler_context. All callers are updated.
