From: Leonard Crestez <leonard.crestez@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 4ce54af8b33d3e21ca935fc1b89b58cbba956051 ] Some hardware PMU drivers will override perf_event.cpu inside their event_init callback. This causes a lockdep splat when initialized through the kernel API: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 250 at kernel/events/core.c:2917 ctx_sched_out+0x78/0x208 pc : ctx_sched_out+0x78/0x208 Call trace: ctx_sched_out+0x78/0x208 __perf_install_in_context+0x160/0x248 remote_function+0x58/0x68 generic_exec_single+0x100/0x180 smp_call_function_single+0x174/0x1b8 perf_install_in_context+0x178/0x188 perf_event_create_kernel_counter+0x118/0x160 Fix this by calling perf_install_in_context with event->cpu, just like perf_event_open Signed-off-by: Leonard Crestez <leonard.crestez@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Frank Li <Frank.li@xxxxxxx> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Will Deacon <will@xxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/c4ebe0503623066896d7046def4d6b1e06e0eb2e.1563972056.git.leonard.crestez@xxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- kernel/events/core.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/kernel/events/core.c b/kernel/events/core.c index f851934d55d48..4bc15cff1026a 100644 --- a/kernel/events/core.c +++ b/kernel/events/core.c @@ -11266,7 +11266,7 @@ perf_event_create_kernel_counter(struct perf_event_attr *attr, int cpu, goto err_unlock; } - perf_install_in_context(ctx, event, cpu); + perf_install_in_context(ctx, event, event->cpu); perf_unpin_context(ctx); mutex_unlock(&ctx->mutex); -- 2.20.1
