From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit 5f5092e72cc25a6a5785308270e0085b2b2772cc upstream. Since we indirect all of our PMU IRQ handling through a dispatcher, it's trivial to hook up perf_sample_event_took to prevent applications such as oprofile from generating interrupt storms due to an unrealisticly low sample period.
