From 1f4ee5038f0c1ef95f8e6d47ad6623e006b5bce1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 6 May 2014 09:59:34 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Ensure consistent inherit state in groups Make sure all events in a group have the same inherit state. It was possible for group leaders to have inherit set while sibling events would not have inherit set. In this case we'd still inherit the siblings, leading to some non-fatal weirdness.
