Subject: Re: [PATCH] perf,x86,p6: Add userspace RDPMC quirk for P6
Peter
As I reported the problem I thought I better contribute by testing the
fix.
I took the patch below and managed to change the 3.4.78 code to match
and tried to boot my Pentium Pro system but it hung as before. After
some investigation I discovered the quirk is not being run, in fact no
quirks were being run in init_hw_perf_events as x86_pmu.quirks was NULL.
The problem as far as I can see is that the quirk is added to x86_pmu in
p6_pmu_init but then x86_pmu is reassigned at the end of that function
(x86_pmu = p6_pmu) resetting x86_pmu.quirks to NULL. x86_pmu looks like
it is reassigned again in intel_pmu_init to either core_pmu or intel_pmu
after the call to p6_pmu_init so I am not sure which x86_pmu.quirks
init_hw_perf_events tries to use.
Hopefully that makes sense.
