Subject: [PATCH 3.2 150/200] perf/x86: Fix event scheduling
3.2.56-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>
commit 26e61e8939b1fe8729572dabe9a9e97d930dd4f6 upstream.
Vince "Super Tester" Weaver reported a new round of syscall fuzzing (Trinity) failures,
with perf WARN_ON()s triggering. He also provided traces of the failures.
This is I think the relevant bit:

So we add the insn:p event (fd[23]).
At this point we should have:
n_events = 2, n_added = 1, n_txn = 1
> pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926170: collect_events: Adding event: 0 (ffff8800c9e01800)
> pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926172: collect_events: Adding event: 4 (ffff8800cbab2c00)
We try and add the {BP,cycles,br_insn} group (fd[3], fd[4], fd[15]).
These events are 0:cycles and 4:br_insn, the BP event isn't x86_pmu so
that's not visible.
group_sched_in()
pmu->start_txn() /* nop - BP pmu */
event_sched_in()
event->pmu->add()
So here we should end up with:
0: n_events = 3, n_added = 2, n_txn = 2
4: n_events = 4, n_added = 3, n_txn = 3
But seeing the below state on x86_pmu_enable(), the must have failed,
because the 0 and 4 events aren't there anymore.
Looking at group_sched_in(), since the BP is the leader, its
event_sched_in() must have succeeded, for otherwise we would not have
seen the sibling adds.
But since neither 0 or 4 are in the below state; their event_sched_in()
must have failed; but I don't see why, the complete state: 0,0,1:p,4
fits perfectly fine on a core2.
However, since we try and schedule 4 it means the 0 event must have
succeeded! Therefore the 4 event must have failed, its failure will
have put group_sched_in() into the fail path, which will call:
event_sched_out()
event->pmu->del()
on 0 and the BP event.
Now x86_pmu_del() will reduce n_events; but it will not reduce n_added;
giving what we see below:
n_event = 2, n_added = 2, n_txn = 2

So the problem is that x86_pmu_del(), when called from a
group_sched_in() that fails (for whatever reason), and without x86_pmu
TXN support (because the leader is !x86_pmu), will corrupt the n_added
state.
