Re: 2.6.29-rc4 regression (was: Re: 2.6.28-rc9: oprofile regression)

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

Tim,

still, I can not reproduce this with my tests with v2.6.29-rc4. The
regression on the systems I have runs fine on rc4. On the system you
have, is commit b99170288421c79f0c2efa8b33e26e65f4bb7fb8 the first bad
one? If so, I will split the patch into smaller pieces to find the
change that introduces the bug.
