From b326e9560a28fc3e950637ef51847ed8f05c1335 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Sat, 5 Dec 2009 09:44:31 +0100 Subject: hw-breakpoints: Use overflow handler instead of the event callback struct perf_event::event callback was called when a breakpoint triggers. But this is a rather opaque callback, pretty tied-only to the breakpoint API and not really integrated into perf as it triggers even when we don't overflow. We prefer to use overflow_handler() as it fits into the perf events rules, being called only when we overflow.
