From 1903d50cba54261a6562a476c05085f3d7a54097 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2014 17:27:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Revert ("perf: Always destroy groups on exit") Vince reported that commit 15a2d4de0eab5 ("perf: Always destroy groups on exit") causes a regression with grouped events. In particular his read_group_attached.c test fails. https://github.com/deater/perf_event_tests/blob/master/tests/bugs/read_group_attached.c Because of the context switch optimization in perf_event_context_sched_out() the 'original' event may end up in the child process and when that exits the change in the patch in question destroys the actual grouping. Therefore revert that change and only destroy inherited groups.
