OK... is perf/core (all 32 commits) headed into 3.7? Because the perf build is broken in 3.7-rcX, and we're at the point where Linus gets kind of picky about what he accepts. So we'd need your branch and David's to fix compile issues. And then we'd need Xiao Guangrong's fixes for 'perf kvm' to only build on x86. That's quite a number of fixes we need just to get perf to compile. Is someone other than me keeping track of that? I would just like people to stop wondering when perf builds on non-x86 architectures will work. josh _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
