From f344011ccb85469445369153c3d27c4ee4bc2ac8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:58:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf_counter: Optimize perf_counter_alloc()'s inherit case We don't need to add usage counts for swcounter and attr usage models for inherited counters since the parent counter will always have one, which suffices to generate the needed output. This avoids up to 3 global atomic increments per inherited counter. LKML-Reference: Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- Reading git-format-patch failed
