[PATCH v5 2/8] perf: Split perf_event_read() and perf_event_count()

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu
Date: Fri Aug 14 2015 - 02:52:10 EST


perf_event_read() does two things:

- call the PMU to read/update the counter value, and
- compute the total count of the event and its children

Not all callers need both. perf_event_reset() for instance needs the
first piece but doesn't need the second. Similarly, when we implement
the ability to read a group of events using the transaction interface,
we would need the two pieces done independently.

Break up perf_event_read() and have it just read/update the counter
and have the callers compute the total count if necessary.
