Subject: [PATCH] perf,x86: P4 PMU -- update nmi irq statistics and unmask lvt entry properly
Date: Thu, 5 Aug 2010 19:09:17 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100805150917.GA6311@lenovo> (raw)

In case if last active performance counter is not overflowed at
moment of NMI being triggered by another counter, the irq statistics
may miss an update stage. As a more serious consequence -- apic quirk
may not be triggered so apic lvt entry stay masked.
