[RFC 0/2] perf: Fixing throttling related WARN

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Tue Aug 13 2013 - 12:40:28 EST


hi,
we managed to trigger perf WARN (described in patch 2),
but only on AMD system with 48 CPUs.

I believe the reason is a race in throttling code and
I tried to fix it. So far my testing looks ok, but I
suspect I broke something else.. ;-)

thanks for comments,
jirka
