From 60db5e09c13109b13830cc9dcae688003fd39e79 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 15 May 2009 15:19:28 +0200 Subject: perf_counter: frequency based adaptive irq_period Instead of specifying the irq_period for a counter, provide a target interrupt frequency and dynamically adapt the irq_period to match this frequency.
