[PATCH 3.11 093/138] ARM: perf: hook up perf_sample_event_took around pmu irq handling

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Tue Jun 03 2014 - 07:57:00 EST


3.11.10.11 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx>

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.
