Ingo,

it seems you pulled (86dd7909c2c4ae3f219a9233bf0f095b05632ecf) from

 cbf74cea070fa1f705de4712e25d9e56ae6543c7 (oprofile, x86: Add comments to IBS LVT offset initialization)

These ones are still missing:

But oprofile/urgent is

 fe47ae7f53e179d2ef6771024feb000cbb86640f (oprofile, dcookies: Fix possible circular locking dependency)

Is this intended? Maybe a korg git sync issue?

Thanks,

-Robert

Yeah, probably - and i reviewed the on-lkml patches you sent earlier 
and didnt notice that these three are missing from the pull request. 
I pulled again and the bits are there now.

Since when has NMI callgraph support been broken?

Thanks,

I think it never worked correct. But the patch can be backported
without conflicts/reworks only for .37 stable kernel. Do you rather
like to take it for v3.1?

Yeah, v3.1 would be fine - if it was broken for like 5-10 years then 
it's not eligible for -rc5. The linecount is very high as well, it's 
definitely not a oneliner fix ...

Thanks,
