From 5b75af0a02fcf3b8899f38ff6f22164c5d8e2fdd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Galbraith Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2009 17:11:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perfcounters: fix "perf counters kill oprofile" bug With oprofile as a module, and unloaded by profiling script, both oprofile and kerneltop work fine.. unless you leave kerneltop running when you start profiling, then you may see badness.
