Subject: Fix powerTOP regression with 2.6.39-rc5
Date: Fri, 06 May 2011 13:08:23 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DC45537.6070609@linux.intel.com> (raw)

Subject: [PATCH] Regression: partial revert "tracing: Remove lock_depth
from event entry"
This patch partially reverts commit
e6e1e2593592a8f6f6380496655d8c6f67431266.
That commit changed the structure layout of the trace structure, which in
turn broke PowerTOP (1.9x generation) quite badly.
I appreciate not wanting to expose the variable in question, and
PowerTOP was
not using it, so I've replaced the variable with just a padding field....
... that way if in the future a new field is needed it can just use this
padding
variable.
