From f90d194a867a5a1db51789b8c4e99bcd196be6bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Hunter Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2014 16:16:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf evlist: Do not poll events that use the system_wide flag The system_wide flag causes a selected event to be opened always without a pid. Consequently it will never get a POLLHUP, but it is used for tracking in combination with other events, so it should not need to be polled anyway. Therefore don't add it for polling.
