From abf4868b8548cae18d4fe8bbfb4e207443be01be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:19:49 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix PERF_FORMAT_GROUP scale info As Corey reported, the total_enabled and total_running times could occasionally be 0, even though there were events counted. It turns out this is because we record the times before reading the counter while the latter updates the times. This patch corrects that. While looking at this code I found that there is a lot of locking iffyness around, the following patches correct most of that.
