[PATCH 3/5] perf_counter: rework ioctl()s

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Fri May 08 2009 - 14:18:29 EST


Corey noticed that ioctl()s on grouped counters didn't work on the whole group.
This extends the ioctl() interface to take a second argument that is
interpreted as a flags field. We then provide PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP to toggle
the behaviour.

Having this flag gives the greatest flexibility, allowing you to individually
enable/disable/reset counters in a group, or all together.
