Subject: [PATCH 0/4] perf: Fix leaked events when sigtrap = 1

While looking at task_work users I just noticed that perf doesn't flush
its own upon event exiting. This looks especially problematic with child
events. Please have a thourough look at the last patch, I may easily
have missed something within the maze.

Frederic Weisbecker (4):
  task_work: s/task_work_cancel()/task_work_cancel_func()/
  task_work: Introduce task_work_cancel() again
  perf: Fix event leak upon exit
  perf: Fix event leak upon exec and file release
