[PATCH 1/4] perf: Add 'flags' parameter to pmu txn interfaces

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu
Date: Wed Mar 04 2015 - 03:37:18 EST


In addition to using the transaction interface to schedule events
on a PMU, we will use it to also read a group of counters at once.
Accordingly, add a flags parameter to the transaction interfaces.
The flags indicate wheether the transaction is to add events to
the PMU (PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD) or to read the events PERF_PMU_TXN_READ.

Based on input from Peter Zijlstra.
