  • 8b8b49883   oprofile: don't request cache line alignment for cpu_buffer ... Browse Code »

    Alignment was previously requested because cpu_buffer was an [NR_CPUS]
    array, to avoid cache line sharing between CPUS.

    After commit 608dfddd845da5ab6accef70154c8910529699f7 (oprofile: change
    cpu_buffer from array to per_cpu variable ), we dont need to force an
    alignement anymore since cpu_buffer sits in per_cpu zone.

  • df9d177aa   oProfile: oops when profile_pc() returns ~0LU ... Browse Code »

    Instruction pointer returned by profile_pc() can be a random value. This
    break the assumption than we can safely set struct op_sample.eip field to a
    magic value to signal to the per-cpu buffer reader side special event like
    task switch ending up in a segfault in get_task_mm() when profile_pc()
    return ~0UL. Fixed by sanitizing the sampled eip and reject/log invalid
    eip.

    Problem reported by Sami Farin, patch tested by him.

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
