    oprofile: Fix crash when unloading module (hr timer mode) · 87121ca5

    Oprofile may crash in a KVM guest while unlaoding modules. This
    happens if oprofile_arch_init() fails and oprofile switches to the hr
    timer mode as a fallback. In this case oprofile_arch_exit() is called,
    but it never was initialized properly which causes the crash. This
    patch fixes this.
    
    oprofile: using timer interrupt.
