From e2b371f00a6f529f6362654239bdec8dcd510760 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Metzger Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2009 16:43:35 +0200 Subject: mm, x86, ptrace, bts: defer branch trace stopping When a ptraced task is unlinked, we need to stop branch tracing for that task. Since the unlink is called with interrupts disabled, and we need interrupts enabled to stop branch tracing, we defer the work. Collect all branch tracing related stuff in a branch tracing context.
