From 159a80b2142df709416ab369113de7d511c48331 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Richter Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2011 19:39:16 +0200 Subject: oprofile, x86: Add kernel parameter oprofile.cpu_type=timer We need this to better test x86 NMI timer mode. Otherwise it is very hard to setup systems with NMI timer enabled, but we have this e.g. in virtual machine environments.
