From 683ede43dd412c6cad0d23578a018409ac9c683e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Mon, 5 May 2014 12:11:24 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Rework free paths Primarily make perf_event_release_kernel() into put_event(), this will allow kernel space to create per-task inherited events, and is safer in general. Also, document the free_event() assumptions.
