From c0a54341c0e89333ef201fc3f3001176962f6121 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2012 14:16:30 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf evsel: Introduce event fallback method The only fallback right now is for HW cpu-cycles -> SW cpu-clock, that was done in the same way in both 'top' and 'record'.
