From bad9ac2d7f878a31cf1ae8c1ee3768077d222bcb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Richter Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2012 19:12:45 +0200 Subject: perf/x86/ibs: Check syscall attribute flags Current implementation simply ignores attribute flags. Thus, there is no notification to userland of unsupported features. Check syscall's attribute flags to let userland know if a feature is supported by the kernel. This is also needed to distinguish between future kernels what might support a feature. Cc: v3.5..
