From fbfc623f8231c8d8c78aab5841e9c6e5811ab638 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Yan, Zheng" Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2012 14:31:31 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Avoid race between cpu hotplug and installing event perf_event_open() requires the cpu on which to install event is online, but the cpu can go offline after perf_event_open checks that. Add a get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpus() pair to avoid the race.
