From ac9721f3f54b27a16c7e1afb2481e7ee95a70318 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 27 May 2010 12:54:41 +0200 Subject: perf_events: Fix races and clean up perf_event and perf_mmap_data interaction In order to move toward separate buffer objects, rework the whole perf_mmap_data construct to be a more self-sufficient entity, one with its own lifetime rules. This greatly sanitizes the whole output redirection code, which was riddled with bugs and races.
