Subject: [PATCH -tip] perf_counter/x86: Add a quirk for Atom processors
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 16:08:55 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090612080855.GA2286@ywang-moblin2.bj.intel.com> (raw)
The fixed-function performance counters do not work on current Atom
processors. Use the general-purpose ones instead.
