Subject: perf_event: Make perf fd non seekable
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3326c1ceee234e63160852720d48be8a8f7a6d08;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

perf_event: Make perf fd non seekable

Perf_event does not need seeking, so prevent it in order to
get rid of default_llseek, which uses the BKL.
