[PATCH 0/5] perf core: Support overwrite ring buffer

[Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com>]

Previous patch set at [1] has a problem when using hw_breakpoints on
ARM and ARM64. This new version fix that by introducing
is_default_overflow_handler() to replace all '!overflow_handler'
checking.

Wang Nan (5):
  perf core: Introduce new ioctl options to pause and resume ring buffer
  perf core: Set event's default overflow_handler
  perf core: Prepare writing into ring buffer from end
  perf core: Add backward attribute to perf event
  perf core: Reduce perf event output overhead by new overflow handler
