Oprofile kernel git tree

Oprofile kernel git tree

[Robert Richter]

The OProfile git tree is now up-to-date:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rric/oprofile.git

Currently there are these branches:

Test branches (non fast-forward):

 master                  all patches
 next                    patches for next kernel


Feature branches (patches not yet ready for upstream, fast-forward only):

 arch-perfmon
 multiplexing


Upstream branches (patches for the architcture maintainers and
linux-next, fast-forward only):

 x86-oprofile-for-tip
 oprofile-for-tip
 powerpc-for-paul


Please use the master/next branches as the latest OProfile kernel for
testing.


Pending patches are:


powerpc-for-paul:

Carl Love (1):
      powerpc/cell/oprofile: fix mutex locking for spu-oprofile

Roel Kluin (1):
      powerpc/cell/oprofile: vma_map: fix test on overlay_tbl_offset


x86-oprofile-for-tip:

Andi Kleen (4):
      oprofile: drop const in num counters field
      oprofile: Don't report Nehalem as core_2
      oprofile: Implement Intel architectural perfmon support
      oprofile: discover counters for op ppro too


Thanks,

What do you mean with that? arch-perfmon is definitely ready for upstream.

This contains only the patch I wrote that changes the
initialization. All other patches are already in the upstream branch.

I see. Thanks. The init change is unfortunately not correct.
Doing it this way would require quite a big restructuring
to call the init functions in the right order. Probably not
worth it to avoid one function call.
