Subject: [PATCH] perfcounter: fix zero or negative refresh delay
Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2009 19:31:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1244223061-5399-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> (raw)
If perf top is executed with a zero value for the refresh rate,
we get a division by zero exception while computing samples_per_sec.
Also a zero refresh rate is not possible, neither do we want to
accept negative values.
[ Impact: fix division by zero in perf top ]
