[ Upstream commitb410ed2a85] The only requirement of an auxtrace queue is that the buffers are in time order. That is achieved by making separate queues for separate perf buffer or AUX area buffer mmaps. That generally means a separate queue per cpu for per-cpu contexts, and a separate queue per thread for per-task contexts. When buffers are added to a queue, perf checks that the buffer cpu and thread id (tid) match the queue cpu and thread id. However, generally, that need not be true, and perf will queue buffers correctly anyway, so the check is not needed. In addition, the check gets erroneously hit when using sample mode to trace multiple threads. Consequently, fix that case by removing the check.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
