Subject[PATCH v4 1/4] perf/core,x86: introduce sync_task_ctx() method at struct pmu
From
Date

Declare sync_task_ctx() methods at the generic and x86 specific
pmu types to bridge calls to platform specific pmu code on optimized
context switch path between equivalent task perf event contexts.

Signed-off-by: Alexey Budankov <alexey.budankov@linux.intel.com>
---
Changes in v4:
- marked sync_task_ctx() as the optional in code comments;
- renamed params of sync_task_ctx() to prev and next;
