Hello, so now that I got past the OOPS in perf_mmap_close() I re-ran the fuzzer and quickly encountered the following WARNing. It happens here: static void x86_pmu_start(struct perf_event *event, int flags) { struct cpu_hw_events *cpuc = &__get_cpu_var(cpu_hw_events); int idx = event->hw.idx; if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!(event->hw.state & PERF_HES_STOPPED))) return; Is it worth trying to come up with a reproducible case for this one? I never know how seriously to take WARN_ON_ONCE dumps.
