[PATCH V3 4/6] perf/core: calculate multiplexing overhead
From: kan . liang
Date: Thu Dec 08 2016 - 16:28:58 EST
From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxx>
Multiplexing overhead is one of the key overhead when the number of
events is more than available counters.
The multiplexing overhead PERF_CORE_MUX_OVERHEAD is a common overhead
type.
