This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled perf/core: Flush PMU internal buffers for per-CPU events to the 5.11-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: perf-core-flush-pmu-internal-buffers-for-per-cpu-eve.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.11 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 94c2262931c37a34457a576c3104e8f0af2d992b Author: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Nov 30 11:38:40 2020 -0800 perf/core: Flush PMU internal buffers for per-CPU events [ Upstream commit a5398bffc01fe044848c5024e5e867e407f239b8 ] Sometimes the PMU internal buffers have to be flushed for per-CPU events during a context switch, e.g., large PEBS. Otherwise, the perf tool may report samples in locations that do not belong to the process where the samples are processed in, because PEBS does not tag samples with PID/TID. The current code only flush the buffers for a per-task event. It doesn't check a per-CPU event. Add a new event state flag, PERF_ATTACH_SCHED_CB, to indicate that the PMU internal buffers have to be flushed for this event during a context switch. Add sched_cb_entry and perf_sched_cb_usages back to track the PMU/cpuctx which is required to be flushed. Only need to invoke the sched_task() for per-CPU events in this patch. The per-task events have been handled in perf_event_context_sched_in/out already.
