From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
In Arch perfmon v4 the GLOBAL_STATUS reset automatically unfreezes LBRs. So no need to do it manually in the LBR code. Add a check to skip it.
v2: Move test up to beginning of function. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> --- arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_intel_lbr.c | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+)
