It's been a couple of weeks since I sent you the v3 of this patch. Last time I fiddled with it, I was able to reproduce your 'perf top' core, and was able to verify that the latest patch I sent out could survive running 'perf top' through the course of a full kernel build.
Is there anything else I can do to help with this one?
Thanks,
