From f454bfddf6ba557381d8bf5df50eff778602ff23 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Shishkin Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2016 14:59:49 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf/core, sched: Don't use clock function pointer to determine clock Now that local_clock() is explicitly inlined in sched.h, taking its pointer would uninline it in the compilation unit where it's done, making (among other things) comparing pointers to this function produce different results in different compilation units. Case in point, x86 perf core's user page updating function compares event's clock against &local_clock to see if it needs to set zero time offset related bits in the page. This patch fixes the latter by looking at the "use_clockid" event attribute instead, to determine whether local clock is used. Fixing the uninlined local_clock() in perf core is left as an exercise for the author of the prior work.
