Subject: [PATCH 02/11] perf: Do not get values from disabled counters in group format read
Date: Sat, 20 Oct 2012 16:33:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1350743599-4805-3-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1350743599-4805-1-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com>

It's possible some of the counters in the group could be
disabled when sampling member of the event group is reading
the rest via PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing. Disabled
counters could then produce wrong numbers.

Fixing that by reading only enabled counters for PERF_SAMPLE_READ
sample type processing.
