From 5434dca0dbda99ff62737ec849a96abb2ce73fdf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wang Nan Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2016 06:41:30 +0000 Subject: perf/core: Set event's default ::overflow_handler() Set a default event->overflow_handler in perf_event_alloc() so don't need to check event->overflow_handler in __perf_event_overflow(). Following commits can give a different default overflow_handler. Initial idea comes from Peter: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130708121557.GA17211@twins.programming.kicks-ass.net Since the default value of event->overflow_handler is not NULL, existing 'if (!overflow_handler)' checks need to be changed. is_default_overflow_handler() is introduced for this. No extra performance overhead is introduced into the hot path because in the original code we still need to read this handler from memory. A conditional branch is avoided so actually we remove some instructions.
