From 3b6e042188994466ec257b71296b5f85b894dcd9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2015 17:26:23 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/intel: Add cpu_(prepare|starting|dying) for core_pmu The core_pmu does not define cpu_* callbacks, which handles allocation of 'struct cpu_hw_events::shared_regs' data, initialization of debug store and PMU_FL_EXCL_CNTRS counters. While this probably won't happen on bare metal, virtual CPU can define x86_pmu.extra_regs together with PMU version 1 and thus be using core_pmu -> using shared_regs data without it being allocated. That could could leave to following panic: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [] _spin_lock_irqsave+0x1f/0x40 SNIP [] __intel_shared_reg_get_constraints+0x69/0x1e0 [] intel_get_event_constraints+0x9b/0x180 [] x86_schedule_events+0x75/0x1d0 [] ? check_preempt_curr+0x7c/0x90 [] ? try_to_wake_up+0x24e/0x3e0 [] ? default_wake_function+0x12/0x20 [] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x16/0x40 [] ? __wake_up_common+0x59/0x90 [] ? __d_lookup+0xa7/0x150 [] ? do_lookup+0x9f/0x230 [] ? dput+0x9a/0x150 [] ? path_to_nameidata+0x25/0x60 [] ? __link_path_walk+0x7da/0x1000 [] ? x86_pmu_add+0xb9/0x170 [] x86_pmu_commit_txn+0x67/0xc0 [] ? mntput_no_expire+0x30/0x110 [] ? path_put+0x31/0x40 [] ? current_fs_time+0x27/0x30 [] ? mem_cgroup_get_reclaim_stat_from_page+0x20/0x70 [] group_sched_in+0x13a/0x170 [] ? sched_clock+0x9/0x10 [] ctx_sched_in+0x2e8/0x330 [] perf_event_sched_in+0x6b/0xb0 [] perf_event_context_sched_in+0x76/0xc0 [] perf_event_comm+0x1bb/0x2e0 [] set_task_comm+0x69/0x80 [] setup_new_exec+0xe1/0x2e0 [] load_elf_binary+0x3ce/0x1ab0 Adding cpu_(prepare|starting|dying) for core_pmu to have shared_regs data allocated for core_pmu. AFAICS there's no harm to initialize debug store and PMU_FL_EXCL_CNTRS either for core_pmu.
