perf: Prevent false warning in perf_swevent_add
The perf cpu offline callback takes down all cpu context events and releases swhash->swevent_hlist. This could race with task context software event being just scheduled on this cpu via perf_swevent_add while cpu hotplug code already cleaned up event's data. The race happens in the gap between the cpu notifier code and the cpu being actually taken down. Note that only cpu ctx events are terminated in the perf cpu hotplug code. It's easily reproduced with: $ perf record -e faults perf bench sched pipe while putting one of the cpus offline: # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online Console emits following warning: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2845 at kernel/events/core.c:5672 perf_swevent_add+0x18d/0x1a0() Modules linked in: CPU: 1 PID: 2845 Comm: sched-pipe Tainted: G W 3.14.0+ raspberrypi#256 Hardware name: Intel Corporation Montevina platform/To be filled by O.E.M., BIOS AMVACRB1.86C.0066.B00.0805070703 05/07/2008 0000000000000009 ffff880077233ab8 ffffffff81665a23 0000000000200005 0000000000000000 ffff880077233af8 ffffffff8104732c 0000000000000046 ffff88007467c800 0000000000000002 ffff88007a9cf2a0 0000000000000001 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81665a23>] dump_stack+0x4f/0x7c [<ffffffff8104732c>] warn_slowpath_common+0x8c/0xc0 [<ffffffff8104737a>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffff8110fb3d>] perf_swevent_add+0x18d/0x1a0 [<ffffffff811162ae>] event_sched_in.isra.75+0x9e/0x1f0 [<ffffffff8111646a>] group_sched_in+0x6a/0x1f0 [<ffffffff81083dd5>] ? sched_clock_local+0x25/0xa0 [<ffffffff811167e6>] ctx_sched_in+0x1f6/0x450 [<ffffffff8111757b>] perf_event_sched_in+0x6b/0xa0 [<ffffffff81117a4b>] perf_event_context_sched_in+0x7b/0xc0 [<ffffffff81117ece>] __perf_event_task_sched_in+0x43e/0x460 [<ffffffff81096f1e>] ? put_lock_stats.isra.18+0xe/0x30 [<ffffffff8107b3c8>] finish_task_switch+0xb8/0x100 [<ffffffff8166a7de>] __schedule+0x30e/0xad0 [<ffffffff81172dd2>] ? pipe_read+0x3e2/0x560 [<ffffffff8166b45e>] ? preempt_schedule_irq+0x3e/0x70 [<ffffffff8166b45e>] ? preempt_schedule_irq+0x3e/0x70 [<ffffffff8166b464>] preempt_schedule_irq+0x44/0x70 [<ffffffff816707f0>] retint_kernel+0x20/0x30 [<ffffffff8109e60a>] ? lockdep_sys_exit+0x1a/0x90 [<ffffffff812a4234>] lockdep_sys_exit_thunk+0x35/0x67 [<ffffffff81679321>] ? sysret_check+0x5/0x56 Fixing this by tracking the cpu hotplug state and displaying the WARN only if current cpu is initialized properly.
