Yeap, longstanding problem, try minimizing the problem using a lower frequency. The callchain code was done initially for 'report' and when I made 'top' reuse the hist_entry code allowing 'top' to collect callchains was too easy, but then we need to go thru the callchain/hists/hist_entry code to make sure that they don't leak, will try to do it... - Arnaldo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
