Re: [PATCH] oprofile cleanups

[Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Revised for current git tree.


1. Use CONFIG_OPROFILE to get rid of overhead for null_perf_irq() call.
2. Call perf_irq from timer_interrupt() instead of
   ll_timer_interrupt().  Many boards are using timer_interrupt(), so
   it would be better to call perf_irq() here.
3. Use jiffies instead of timer_tick_count in scroll_display_message().
