Subject[PATCH v4 3/5] MIPS/Perf-events: Fix event check in validate_event()
Date
Ignore events that are in off/error state or belong to a different PMU.

This patch originates from the following commit for ARM by Will Deacon:

- 65b4711ff513767341aa1915c822de6ec0de65cb
ARM: 6352/1: perf: fix event validation

The validate_event function in the ARM perf events backend has the
following problems:

1.) Events that are disabled count towards the cost.
2.) Events associated with other PMUs [for example, software events or
breakpoints] do not count towards the cost, but do fail validation,
causing the group to fail.

This patch changes validate_event so that it ignores events in the
PERF_EVENT_STATE_OFF state or that are scheduled for other PMUs.

Changes:
v4 - v3:
o None
v3 - v2:
o Keep all mentioned commits in the form of number + title + original
summary + (MIPS specific info when needed).
v2 - v1:
o Corrected the return value of the event check in validate_event().
