From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: mark.rutland@arm.com (Mark Rutland) Date: Mon, 8 Aug 2011 14:56:02 +0100 Subject: [RFC PATCH 08/15] ARM: perf: remove unnecessary armpmu->stop Message-ID: To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org As armpmu_disable will call armpmu->stop when the last event has been removed, this is pointless and simply adds to the noise when debugging. Additionally, due to this call occurring in a preemptible context, this is problematic for per-cpu locking of PMU registers (where we will attempt to access per-cpu spinlock for use with raw_spin_lock_irqsave). This patch removes the call to armpmu->stop.
