[PATCH 21/32] perf/x86/intel/cqm: handle inherit event and inherit_stat flag

From: David Carrillo-Cisneros
Date: Fri Apr 29 2016 - 00:49:32 EST


Since inherited events are part of the same cqm cache group, they share the
RMID and therefore they cannot provide the granularity required by
inherit_stats. Changing this would require to create a subtree of monrs for
each parent event and its inherited events, a potential improvement for
future patches.
