[PATCH 20/32] x86/intel/cqm: use PERF_CGROUP_NO_RECURSION in CQM

From: David Carrillo-Cisneros
Date: Fri Apr 29 2016 - 00:49:34 EST


The CQM hardware is not compatible with the way generic code handles
cgroup hierarchies (simultaneously adding the events of for all ancestors
of the current cgroup). This version of Intel's CQM driver handles
cgroup hierarchy internally.

Set PERF_CGROUP_NO_RECURSION for llc_occupancy events to
signal perf's generic code to not add events for ancestors of current
cgroup.
