Adds bit perf_event_attr::remove_on_exec, to support removing an event from a task on exec. This option supports the case where an event is supposed to be process-wide only, and should not propagate beyond exec, to limit monitoring to the original process image only. Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Marco Elver <elver@xxxxxxxxxx> --- v3: * Rework based on Peter's "perf: Rework perf_event_exit_event()" added to the beginning of the series.
