[PATCH] perf/core: Don't pass PERF_EF_START to the PMU ->start callback

From: Will Deacon
Date: Mon Aug 15 2016 - 06:42:44 EST


PERF_EF_START is a flag to indicate to the PMU ->add callback that, as
well as claiming the PMU resources required by the event being added,
it should also start the PMU.

Passing this flag to the ->start callback doesn't make sense, because
->start always tries to start the PMU. Remove it.
