Re: [GIT PULL] perf changes for v3.12

[Linus Torvalds]

This is new for me, but I suspect it is more related to the new
Haswell CPU I have than necessarily the 3.12 perf pull request.

Regardless, nothing bad happened, but my dmesg has this in it:

   Unexpected number of pebs records 10

when I was profiling some git workloads. Full trace appended.
