Subject: [patch v5 12/12] btrace, x86: disable on some processors
Date: Fri, 07 Dec 2012 10:38:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1354876644-25749-13-git-send-email-markus.t.metzger@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1354876644-25749-1-git-send-email-markus.t.metzger@intel.com>

From: Markus Metzger <markus.t.metzger@intel.com>

LBR, BTM, or BTS records may have incorrect branch "from" information afer an
EIST transition, T-states, C1E, or Adaptive Thermal Throttling (AAJ122).

This results in sporadic test fails. Disable btrace on those processors.

2012-12-07 Markus Metzger <markus.t.metzger@intel.com>

	* common/linux-btrace.c (linux_supports_btrace): Add cpuid check.
