Subject: [PATCH 3.13 149/212] perf: Prevent false warning in perf_swevent_add
3.13.11.4 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@...hat.com>
commit 39af6b1678afa5880dda7e375cf3f9d395087f6d upstream.
The perf cpu offline callback takes down all cpu context
events and releases swhash->swevent_hlist.
This could race with task context software event being just
scheduled on this cpu via perf_swevent_add while cpu hotplug
code already cleaned up event's data.
The race happens in the gap between the cpu notifier code
and the cpu being actually taken down. Note that only cpu
ctx events are terminated in the perf cpu hotplug code.
It's easily reproduced with:
$ perf record -e faults perf bench sched pipe
while putting one of the cpus offline:
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
Console emits following warning:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2845 at kernel/events/core.c:5672 perf_swevent_add+0x18d/0x1a0()

Fixing this by tracking the cpu hotplug state and displaying
the WARN only if current cpu is initialized properly.
