This is wrong: you need to investigate why .cpu_type isn't set: in particular, it should have fallen back to timer mode. oprofile_arch_init() should have returned -ENODEV, and that should have set timer mode. Unfortunately bkcvs seems out of date so I can't even look at this myself. john - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
