[PATCH] perf_events: fix bogus warn_on(_once) in perf_prepare_sample()
There is a warn_on_once() check for PERF_SAMPLE_RAW which trips when using PEBS on both Core and Nehalem. Core PEBS sample size is 144 bytes and 176 bytes for Nehalem. Both are multiples of 8, but the size field is encoded as int, thus the total is never a multiple of 8 which trips the check. I think the size ... 8 Apr 2010 17:26

The intent was that the entry would be hidden from the user via a poisoned d_compare, but this was faulty. This introduced a securit... 8 Apr 2010 17:26
