There appears to be a problemin __perf_event_task_sched_in() wrt cgroup event scheduling. The normal event scheduling order is: CPU pinned Task pinned CPU flexible Task flexible And since perf_cgroup_sched*() only schedules the cpu context, we must call this _before_ adding the task events. Note: double check what happens on the ctx switch optimization where the task ctx isn't scheduled.
