From 57ce9bb39b476accf8fba6e16aea67ed76ea523d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Rutland Date: Tue, 17 May 2011 09:15:38 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 6902/1: perf: Remove erroneous check on active_events When initialising a PMU, there is a check to protect against races with other CPUs filling all of the available event slots. Since armpmu_add checks that an event can be scheduled, we do not need to do this at initialisation time. Furthermore the current code is broken because it assumes that atomic_inc_not_zero will unconditionally increment active_counts and then tries to decrement it again on failure. This patch removes the broken, redundant code.
