Subject: tracing/kprobes: Avoid perf_trace_buf_*() if ->perf_events is empty
X-Git-Tag: v3.11-rc1~33^2~20
X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=288e984e622336bab8bc3dfdf2f190816362d9a1;p=pandora-kernel.git

tracing/kprobes: Avoid perf_trace_buf_*() if ->perf_events is empty

perf_trace_buf_prepare() + perf_trace_buf_submit() make no sense
if this task/CPU has no active counters. Change kprobe_perf_func()
and kretprobe_perf_func() to check call->perf_events beforehand
and return if this list is empty.

For example, "perf record -e some_probe -p1". Only /sbin/init will
report, all other threads which hit the same probe will do
perf_trace_buf_prepare/perf_trace_buf_submit just to realize that
nobody wants perf_swevent_event().
