From 04a705df47d1ea27ca2b066f24b1951c51792d0d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephane Eranian Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2009 16:42:08 +0200 Subject: perf_events: Check for filters on fixed counter events Intel fixed counters do not support all the filters possible with a generic counter. Thus, if a fixed counter event is passed but with certain filters set, then the fixed_mode_idx() function must fail and the event must be measured in a generic counter instead. Reject filters are: inv, edge, cnt-mask.
