Revision 60beda849343494b2a598b927630bbe293c1cc6e authored by Peter Zijlstra on 26 January 2016, 13:55:02 UTC, committed by Ingo Molnar on 29 January 2016, 07:35:34 UTC
There are two concepts of owner wrt an event and they are conflated: - event::owner / event::owner_list, used by prctl(.option = PR_TASK_PERF_EVENTS_{EN,DIS}ABLE). - the 'owner' of the event object, typically the file descriptor. Currently these two concepts are conflated, which gives trouble with scm_rights passing of file descriptors. Passing the event and then closing the creating task would render the event 'orphan' and would have it cleared out. Unlikely what is expectd. This patch untangles these two concepts by using PERF_EVENT_STATE_EXIT to denote the second type.
