| |
With Jen's Axboe's basic sparc counter patch in my tree I started playing with it on sparc64. Turns out it won't work on anything pre-Niagara.
The issue is D-cache aliasing between the kernel side mapping and the user side mapping of the perf event ring buffer.
The following two patches attempt to address this issue and are working properly on my test machine.
