From 25d3584797a39f57b69cd835722ac7c41113fb9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2010 15:15:14 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 6330/1: perf: reword comments relating to perf_event_do_pending This is purely a cosmetic change to the ARM perf backend because the current comments about the relationship between NMIs, interrupt context and perf_event_do_pending are misleading. This patch updates the comments so that they reflect what the code actually does (which is in line with other architectures).
