From ec3232bdf8518bea8410f0027f870b24d3aa8753 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 09:45:19 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf_counter: x86: More accurate counter update Take the counter width into account instead of assuming 32 bits. In particular Nehalem has 44 bit wide counters, and all arithmetics should happen on a 44-bit signed integer basis. [ Impact: fix rare event imprecision, warning message on Nehalem ] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Corey Ashford LKML-Reference: Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- Reading git-format-patch failed
