Hi Thomas,

is enabled.

[ 6.389640] Kernel Offset: 0x24200000 from 0xffffffff81000000 (relocation range: 0xffffffff80000000-0xffffffffbfffffff)
The problem is a heisenbug - slight changes in the code, such as added logging,
can make it disappear.
I added some logging and a long msleep() in hardlockup_detector_perf_cleanup().
Here is the result:

Looks like there are a number of problems: hardlockup_detector_event_create()
creates the event data structure even if it is already created, and
hardlockup_detector_perf_cleanup() runs unprotected and in parallel to
the enable/create functions.
ALso, the following message is seen twice.
[ 0.278758] NMI watchdog: Enabled. Permanently consumes one hw-PMU counter.
[ 7.258838] NMI watchdog: Enabled. Permanently consumes one hw-PMU counter.
I don't offer a proposed patch since I have no idea how to best solve the
problem.
Also, is the repeated enable/disable/cleanup as part of the normal boot
really necessary ?
Thanks,
Guenter
