Subject: Re: [PATCH] perf_event: fix loss of notification with multi-event
sampling
the only thing I can seem to come up with is something like the below
and uglier..
the below isn't compiled and I suspect there's still a race between poll
and perf_event_set_output() which we could plug by taking mmap_mutex in
perf_poll() but that'd be cheating..
also, yuck!
