From cb6e943ccf19ab6d3189147e9d625a992e016084 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2010 03:17:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] oprofile: remove double ring buffering oprofile used a double buffer scheme for its cpu event buffer to avoid races on reading with the old locked ring buffer. But that is obsolete now with the new ring buffer, so simply use a single buffer. This greatly simplifies the code and avoids a lot of sample drops on large runs, especially with call graph. Based on suggestions from Steven Rostedt For stable kernels from v2.6.32, but not earlier.
