[GIT PULL] updates for oprofile

[Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>]

Ingo,

please pull oprofile updates from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rric/oprofile.git core

You might want to pull from 'for-next' instead that includes an
additional merge with tip/tracing/core to resolve conflicts with that
branch.

Thanks.

-Robert

    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    But that is obsolete now with the new ring buffer, so simply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.

    oprofile: convert oprofile from timer_hook to hrtimer
    
    Oprofile is currently broken on systems running with NOHZ enabled.
    A maximum of 1 tick is accounted via the timer_hook if a cpu sleeps
    for a longer period of time. This does bad things to the percentages
    in the profiler output. To solve this problem convert oprofile to
    use a restarting hrtimer instead of the timer_hook.
