From b83a46e7da4a948cc852ba7805dfb1a392dec861 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2010 13:51:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf, x86: Don't reset the LBR as frequently If we reset the LBR on each first counter, simple counter rotation which first deschedules all counters and then reschedules the new ones will lead to LBR reset, even though we're still in the same task context. Reduce this by not flushing on the first counter but only flushing on different task contexts.
