3.13.11-ckt38 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx> commit e72daf3f4d764c47fb71c9bdc7f9c54a503825b1 upstream. Using PAGE_SIZE buffers makes the WRMSR to PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL in intel_pmu_enable_all() mysteriously hang on Core2. As a workaround, we don't do this. The hard lockup is easily triggered by running 'perf test attr' repeatedly. Most of the time it gets stuck on sample session with small periods. # perf test attr -vv 14: struct perf_event_attr setup : --- start --- ...
