From 3d083407a16698de86b42aee0da2ffb280b5cb7e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Sat, 27 Feb 2010 17:24:15 +0100 Subject: x86/hw-breakpoints: Remove the name field Remove the name field from the arch_hw_breakpoint. We never deal with target symbols in the arch level, neither do we need to ever store it. It's a legacy for the previous version of the x86 breakpoint backend. Let's remove it.

It means that if we have more than sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate/HZ, perf will throttle, ignoring subsequent events until the next tick. So if ptrace exceeds this max rate, it will omit events, which breaks the ptrace determinism that is supposed to report every triggered breakpoints. This is likely to happen if we set sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate to 1. This patch removes support for unthrottling in breakpoint events to break throttling and restore ptrace determinism.
