Subject[Cbe-oss-dev] [PATCH] Cell OProfile: SPU mutex lock fix
From
Date
This patch fixes a bug in the code that records the SPU data and
context switches. The buffer_mutex lock must be held when the
kernel is adding data to the buffer between the kernel and the
OProfile daemon. The lock is not being held in the current code
base. This patch fixes the bug using work queues. The data to
be passed to the daemon is caputured by the interrupt handler.
The workqueue function is invoked to grab the buffer_mutex lock
and add the data to the buffer.
