Well indeed there's a room for improvement always. But from our current experience existing implementation works pretty fine. Moreover having now PCT IRQs we mostly use sampling events that allow doing real profiling. -Alexey-- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
