Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf record: remove unneeded gettimeofday() call
Date: Thu, 20 May 2010 22:08:40 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1274404121-6115-2-git-send-email-acme@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1274404121-6115-1-git-send-email-acme@infradead.org>

From: Russ Anderson <rja@sgi.com>

Perf record repeatedly calls gettimeofday() which adds noise to the performance
measurements.  Since gettimeofday() is only used for the error printf, delete
it.
