From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
intel_pmu_cpu_prepare() allocated memory for ->shared_regs among other
members of struct cpu_hw_events. This memory is released in
intel_pmu_cpu_dying() which is wrong. The counterpart of the
intel_pmu_cpu_prepare() callback is x86_pmu_dead_cpu().
Otherwise if the CPU fails on the UP path between CPUHP_PERF_X86_PREPARE
and CPUHP_AP_PERF_X86_STARTING then it won't release the memory but
allocate new memory on the next attempt to online the CPU (leaking the
old memory).
Also, if the CPU down path fails between CPUHP_AP_PERF_X86_STARTING and
CPUHP_PERF_X86_PREPARE then the CPU will go back online but never
allocate the memory that was released in x86_pmu_dying_cpu().
Make the memory allocation/free symmetrical in regard to the CPU hotplug
notifier by moving the deallocation to intel_pmu_cpu_dead().
This started in commit:
a7e3ed1e47011 ("perf: Add support for supplementary event registers").
In principle the bug was introduced in v2.6.39 (!), but it will almost
certainly not backport cleanly across the big CPU hotplug rewrite between v4.7-v4.15...
