Subject: [PATCH 14/15] perf/core: Add event_caps dependency flags
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 15:43:08 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928074309.898043-15-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260928074309.898043-1-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com>
Add two new event capability flags:
- PERF_EV_CAP_RELIED_ON: An event that other group events rely on. Must
not be set on a group leader.
- PERF_EV_CAP_RELIANT: An event that relies on a group event carrying
PERF_EV_CAP_RELIED_ON. Must not be combined with PERF_EV_CAP_RELIED_ON.
If the dependency is on the group leader, use PERF_EV_CAP_SIBLING
instead of PERF_EV_CAP_RELIANT.
When an event with PERF_EV_CAP_RELIED_ON is detached from the group, all
events in the group carrying PERF_EV_CAP_RELIANT can no longer function
and must be transitioned to the ERROR state.
