From 47e74f2ba8fbf9fb1378e2524e6cfdc2fb37f160 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2008 00:01:27 -0500 Subject: ring-buffer: no preempt for sched_clock() Impact: disable preemption when calling sched_clock() The ring_buffer_time_stamp still uses sched_clock as its counter. But it is a bug to call it with preemption enabled. This requirement should not be pushed to the ring_buffer_time_stamp callers, so the ring_buffer_time_stamp needs to disable preemption when calling sched_clock.
