[PATCH, net-next] perf, bpf: fix conditional call to bpf_overflow_handler

flat view
STALE3692d

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Date: 2016-09-06 13:10:54
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: performance events subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Peter Zijlstra, Ingo Molnar, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, Namhyung Kim, Linus Torvalds

The newly added bpf_overflow_handler function is only built of both
CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING and CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL are enabled, but the caller
only checks the latter:

kernel/events/core.c: In function 'perf_event_alloc':
kernel/events/core.c:9106:27: error: 'bpf_overflow_handler' undeclared (first use in this function)

This changes the caller so we also skip this call if CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING
is disabled entirely.
