From b68f1d2e7aa21029d73c7d453a8046e95d351740 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Sun, 17 May 2009 19:37:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf_counter, x86: speed up the scheduling fast-path We have to set up the LVT entry only at counter init time, not at every switch-in time. There's friction between NMI and non-NMI use here - we'll probably remove the per counter configurability of it - but until then, dont slow down things ...
