Subject[RFC][PATCH 0/4] perf: remove __weak function hw_perf_group_sched_in()
From
Date
Hi, all

>From the discussion of thread "[RFC] perf_events: support for uncore
a.k.a. nest units", in order to support multiple hw pmu, Peter suggested
the first thing that needs to be done is get rid of all the __weak
functions (with exception of perf_callchain*, since that really is arch
specific), includes

hw_perf_group_sched_in
hw_perf_event_init
hw_perf_disable
hw_perf_enable

This patch series is to remove hw_perf_group_sched_in() first.

patch 1: core, add group scheduling transactional APIs
patch 2: x86, implement group scheduling transactional APIs
patch 3: powerpc, implement group scheduling transactional APIs
