From c323d95fa4dbe0b6bf6d59e24a0b7db067dd08a7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yong Wang Date: Fri, 29 May 2009 13:28:35 +0800 Subject: perf_counter/x86: Always use NMI for performance-monitoring interrupt Always use NMI for performance-monitoring interrupt as there could be racy situations if we switch between irq and nmi mode frequently.
