[PATCH] perf: fix cmpxchg warning in perf_event_amd.c

From: Jason Baron
Date: Tue May 18 2010 - 16:44:10 EST


Hi,

I'm getting the following warnings:

In file included from arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c:1343:
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_amd.c: In function
âamd_put_event_constraintsâ:
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_amd.c:167: warning: value computed is not
used

Since cmpxchg returns a value, we need to use it. We can use it to test if its
equal to "event".

thanks,

-Jason
