From 0022cedd4a7d8a87841351e2b018bb6794cf2e67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vince Weaver Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2013 12:39:45 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] perf/trace: Properly use u64 to hold event_id The 64-bit attr.config value for perf trace events was being copied into an "int" before doing a comparison, meaning the top 32 bits were being truncated. As far as I can tell this didn't cause any errors, but it did mean it was possible to create valid aliases for all the tracepoint ids which I don't think was intended. (For example, 0xffffffff00000018 and 0x18 both enable the same tracepoint).
