| |
2.6.34-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Vince Weaver <vweaver1@eecs.utk.edu>
commit f287d332ce835f77a4f5077d2c0ef1e3f9ea42d2 upstream.
While doing some performance counter validation tests on some assembly language programs I noticed that the "branches:u" count was very wrong on AMD machines.
It looks like the wrong event was selected.
