Re: [PATCH v2 2/4] powerpc/selftests/perf-hwbreak: Coalesce event creation code

From: Daniel Axtens <hidden>

Hi Ravi,
perf-hwbreak selftest opens hw-breakpoint event at multiple places for
which it has same code repeated. Coalesce that code into a function.

This doesn't simplify things very much for the code as it stands now,
but I think your next patch adds a bunch of calls to these functions, so
I agree that it makes sense to consolidate them now.

Only 1 of the calls to perf sets exclude_{kernel,hv,guest} - I assume
there's no issue with setting them always but I wanted to check.

checkpatch doesn't like this very much:

CHECK: Alignment should match open parenthesis

Apart from that, this seems good but I haven't checked in super fine
detail just yet :)

Kind regards,
Daniel
