From 93472aff802fd7b61f2209335207e9bd793012f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2015 16:47:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86: Fix 'active_events' imbalance Commit 1b7b938f1817 ("perf/x86/intel: Fix PMI handling for Intel PT") conditionally increments active_events in x86_add_exclusive() but unconditionally decrements in x86_del_exclusive(). These extra decrements can lead to the situation where active_events is zero and thus the PMI handler is 'disabled' while we have active events on the PMU generating PMIs. This leads to a truckload of: Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 21 on CPU 28. Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled? Dazed and confused, but trying to continue messages and generally messes up perf. Remove the condition on the increment, double increment balanced by a double decrement is perfectly fine. Restructure the code a little bit to make the unconditional inc a bit more natural. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: H.
