Subject: perf_counter: Log irq_period changes
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.31-rc1~383^2~252
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=26b119bc811a73bac6ecf95bdf284bf31c7955f0;p=~emulex%2Finfiniband.git

perf_counter: Log irq_period changes

For the dynamic irq_period code, log whenever we change the period so that
analyzing code can normalize the event flow.

[ Impact: add new feature to allow more precise profiling ]
