3.2.102-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "K.Prasad" <Prasad.Krishnan@xxxxxxxxx> 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().
