[PATCH 2/4] ibft: For UEFI machines actually do scan ACPI for iBFT.
For machines with IBFT 1.03 do scan the ACPI table for 'iBFT' or for 'IBFT'. If the machine is in UEFI mode, only do the ACPI table scan. For all other machines (pre IBFT 1.03) do a memory scan if not found in the ACPI tables. Signed-off-by: Peter Jones <pjones(a)redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <k... 11 May 2010 17:55

perf_event: when events are grouped, the time enabled / running values are incorrect
Hi, I believe there is another bug related to timing and I am not sure if this patch fixes it too. If you add TIME_ENABLED|TIME_RUNNING in samples, they will get zero all the time (ENA, RUN): $ libpfm/perf_examples/task_smpl noploop 4 period=240000000 freq=0 58 PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES 59 PERF_COUNT_HW_... 11 May 2010 16:47
