Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix inherited events vs. tracepoint filters
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

commit b71b437eedaed985062492565d9d421d975ae845 upstream.

Arnaldo reported that tracepoint filters seem to misbehave (ie. not
apply) on inherited events.

The fix is obvious; filters are only set on the actual (parent)
event, use the normal pattern of using this parent event for filters.
This is safe because each child event has a reference to it.
