From b6276f353bf490add62dcf7db0ebd75baa3e1a37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2009 11:45:03 +0200 Subject: perf_counter: x86: self-IPI for pending work Implement set_perf_counter_pending() with a self-IPI so that it will run ASAP in a usable context. For now use a second IRQ vector, because the primary vector pokes the apic in funny ways that seem to confuse things.
