From 26b119bc811a73bac6ecf95bdf284bf31c7955f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 20 May 2009 12:21:20 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf_counter: Log irq_period changes For the dynamic irq_period code, log whenever we change the period so that analyzing code can normalize the event flow.
