[PATCH v9 09/14] perf: Add wakeup watermark control to AUX area

From: Alexander Shishkin
Date: Wed Jan 14 2015 - 07:25:19 EST


When AUX area gets a certain amount of new data, we want to wake up
userspace to collect it. This adds a new control to specify how much
data will cause a wakeup. This is then passed down to pmu drivers via
output handle's "wakeup" field, so that the driver can find the nearest
point where it can generate an interrupt.

We repurpose __reserved_2 in the event attribute for this, even though
it was never checked to be zero before, aux_watermark will only matter
for new AUX-aware code, so the old code should still be fine.
