From: K.Prasad Date: Thu, 2 Aug 2012 08:16:35 +0000 (+0530) Subject: perf/hwpb: Invoke __perf_event_disable() if interrupts are already disabled X-Git-Url: https://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=pandora-kernel.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=0a484bd5d67e0fc458945eeece251be35756a815 perf/hwpb: Invoke __perf_event_disable() if interrupts are already disabled commit 500ad2d8b01390c98bc6dce068bccfa9534b8212 upstream. While debugging a warning message on PowerPC while using hardware breakpoints, it was discovered that when perf_event_disable is invoked through hw_breakpoint_handler function with interrupts disabled, a subsequent IPI in the code path would trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE message in smp_call_function_single function. This patch calls __perf_event_disable() when interrupts are already disabled, instead of perf_event_disable().
