This looks reasonably likely to be correct, but this code is complicated and now ever slower. How hard would it be to just delete it and replace it with a straightforward two-phase trace invocation a la x86_64? --Andy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
