    oprofile/x86: protect cpu hotplug sections · 6ae56b55
    Robert Richter authored
    This patch reworks oprofile cpu hotplug code as follows:
    
    Introduce ctr_running variable to check, if counters are running or
    not. The state must be known for taking a cpu on or offline and when
    switching counters during counter multiplexing.
    
    Protect on_each_cpu() sections with get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpu()
    functions. This is necessary if notifiers or states are
    modified. Within these sections the cpu mask may not change.
    
    Switch only between counters in nmi_cpu_switch(), if counters are
    running. Otherwise the switch may restart a counter though they are
    disabled.
    
    Add nmi_cpu_setup() and nmi_cpu_shutdown() to cpu hotplug code. The
    function must also be called to avoid uninitialzed counter usage.
