If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Tue Mar 24 10:57:46 CET 2015 From: David Ahern <david.ahern@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2015 16:05:57 -0400 Subject: sparc: perf: Remove redundant perf_pmu_{en|dis}able calls From: David Ahern <david.ahern@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 5b0d4b5514bbcce69b516d0742f2cfc84ebd6db3 ] perf_pmu_disable is called by core perf code before pmu->del and the enable function is called by core perf code afterwards. No need to call again within sparc_pmu_del. Ditto for pmu->add and sparc_pmu_add.
