[PATCH] oprofile for 2.5.42

[John L. <le...@mo...>]

http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/oprofile-2.5.html

as usual. This release has two significant changes :

o We got the task release stuff horribly wrong for CLONE_DETACHED tasks
as used by nptl, leading to instant oopsen. I think I have fixed this.
One drawback is that the do_exit()-related code is now an oprofile blind
spot, but I can't see a better solution

o Use _raw forms for the spinlock we sleep whilst holding to avoid
CONFIG_PREEMPT complaining. I have lightly tested preempt on SMP with
the new patch, and it seems to work

regards
john
