[RFC][Patch 1/1] Oprofile Multiplexing

From: Jason Yeh
Date: Tue May 27 2008 - 16:09:21 EST

hi,

This patch adds multiplexing functionality to Oprofile driver and also
the AMD arch specific handler. Basically, the mechanism schedules delayed
work and swaps the contents of event counter and event control in arch
specific handler when the scheduled work is executed.

Please let me know if you have any comment or question. Thanks.
