From bdc8b8914b17cf97b53e5f7af8168d68cfb089d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Cree Date: Sun, 19 Sep 2010 02:05:40 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] alpha: Shift perf event pending work earlier in timer interrupt Pending work from the performance event subsystem is executed in the timer interrupt. This patch shifts the call to perf_event_do_pending() before the call to update_process_times() as the latter may call back into the perf event subsystem and it is prudent to have the pending work executed first.
