From 91d7753a45f8525dc75b6be01e427dc1c378dc16 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Tue, 7 Aug 2012 15:20:38 +0200 Subject: perf: Factor __output_copy to be usable with specific copy function Adding a generic way to use __output_copy function with specific copy function via DEFINE_PERF_OUTPUT_COPY macro. Using this to add new __output_copy_user function, that provides output copy from user pointers. For x86 the copy_from_user_nmi function is used and __copy_from_user_inatomic for the rest of the architectures. This new function will be used in user stack dump on sample, coming in next patches.
