perf/core: Add a callback to perf events
A simple callback in a perf event can be used for multiple purposes. For example it is useful for triggered based events like hardware breakpoints that need a callback to dispatch a triggered breakpoint event. v2: Simplify a bit the callback attribution as suggested by Paul Mackerras Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: "K.Prasad" <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
