[PATCH] pgo: rename the raw profile file to vmlinux.profraw

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Future PGO features may create other files in /sys/kernel/debug/pgo. So
rename the kernel's raw profile data file to "vmlinux.profraw" to make
which part of the kernel the file is for more explicit.

Note that future files in /sys/kernel/debug/pgo should follow a similar
naming convention.
