From 515619f209114697fabd21eed1623bfa69746815 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Sat, 13 Apr 2013 15:36:49 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] uprobes/perf: Avoid perf_trace_buf_prepare/submit if ->perf_events is empty perf_trace_buf_prepare() + perf_trace_buf_submit() make no sense if this task/CPU has no active counters. Change uprobe_perf_print() to return if hlist_empty(call->perf_events). Note: this is not uprobe-specific, we can change other users too.
