From 7e4e0bd50e80df2fe5501f48f872448376cdd997 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Richter Date: Wed, 6 May 2009 12:10:23 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] oprofile: introduce module_param oprofile.cpu_type This patch removes module_param oprofile.force_arch_perfmon and introduces oprofile.cpu_type=archperfmon instead. This new parameter can be reused for other models and architectures. Currently only archperfmon is supported.
