oprofile: Remove 'WQ on CPUx, prefer CPUy' warning
Under certain workloads we see the following warnings: WQ on CPU0, prefer CPU1 WQ on CPU0, prefer CPU2 WQ on CPU0, prefer CPU3 It warns the user that the wq to access a per-cpu buffers runs not on the same cpu. This happens if the wq is rescheduled on a different cpu than where the buffer is located. This was probably implemented to detect performance issues. Not sure if there actually is one as the buffers are copied to a single buffer anyway which should be the actual bottleneck. We wont change WQ implementation. Since a user can do nothing the warning is pointless. Removing it. Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
