From 4fd38e4595e2f6c9d27732c042a0e16b2753049c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 6 May 2010 17:31:38 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix exit() vs PERF_FORMAT_GROUP Both Stephane and Corey reported that PERF_FORMAT_GROUP didn't work as expected if the task the counters were attached to quit before the read() call. The cause is that we unconditionally destroy the grouping when we remove counters from their context. Fix this by only doing this when we free the counter itself.
