Subject[PATCH for v4.9 LTS 73/86] perf/x86: Reject non sampling events with precise_ip
Date
From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 18e7a45af91acdde99d3aa1372cc40e1f8142f7b ]

As Peter suggested [1] rejecting non sampling PEBS events,
because they dont make any sense and could cause bugs
in the NMI handler [2].
