From 5a3126d4fe7c311fe12f98fef0470f6cb582d1ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2013 17:12:48 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix the perf context switch optimization Currently we only optimize the context switch between two contexts that have the same parent; this forgoes the optimization between parent and child context, even though these contexts could be equivalent too.
