From 85ed81b3dac72b97331ee36402fee0318a93d4cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Sat, 28 Jul 2012 16:44:38 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: perf: remove mysterious compiler barrier There's a rather strange compiler barrier in the PMU disabling code which was presumably placed there by aliens. There's no valid reason for the barrier and one can only suspect that it's up to no good. This patch removes it before it has a chance to spread.
