From: Stephane Eranian <[email protected]> Before: $ perf record -c 10000 --pfm-events=cycles:period=77777
Would yield a cycles event with period=10000, instead of 77777. This was due to an ordering issue between libpfm4 parsing the event string and perf record initializing the event. This patch fixes the problem by preventing override for events with attr->sample_period != 0 by the time perf_evsel__config() is invoked. This seems to have been the intent of the author.
