[PATCH 1/2] perf: Add PERF_EVENT_IOC_INC_EVENT_LIMIT
From: Charlie Jenkins
Date: Wed Jul 24 2024 - 18:54:57 EST
PERF_EVENT_IOC_REFRESH immediately enables after incrementing
event_limit. Provide a new ioctl flag that allows programs to increment
event_limit without enabling the event. A usecase for this is to set an
event_limit in combination with enable_on_exec.
