From 5a158c3ccd2183a7b0866be6685d001fe653430f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Yan, Zheng" Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2014 21:56:02 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Always switch pmu specific data during context switch If two tasks were both forked from the same parent task, Events in their perf task contexts can be the same. Perf core may leave out switching the perf event contexts. Previous patch inroduces pmu specific data. The data is for saving the LBR stack, it is task specific. So we need to switch the data even when context switch is optimized out.
