An oprofile regression ? Oh no !
;) Just kidding
Introduction of ring buffers was probably the start of oprofile using more cpu cycles,
and I remember seeing rb_get_reader_page() and ring_buffer_consume()
climbing in top 10 functions on tbench oprofile session.
CPU: Core 2, speed 3000.46 MHz (estimated)
Counted CPU_CLK_UNHALTED events (Clock cycles when not halted) with a unit mask of 0x00 (Unhalted core cycles) count 10000
