Subject: [PATCH v2 06/16] perf pmu: Probe privilege exclusion modifiers
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 11:55:51 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113195601.2872738-7-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113195601.2872738-1-irogers@google.com>

Extend perf_pmu__probe() with test_exclude_flag() to probe whether
exclude_user, exclude_kernel, exclude_hv, exclude_idle, exclude_host,
and exclude_guest are accepted by perf_event_open() on the PMU, storing
the results in struct perf_pmu::probed.
