perf: Fix task context scheduling
Jiri reported:
|
| - once an event is created by sys_perf_event_open, task context
| is created and it stays even if the event is closed, until the
| task is finished ... thats what I see in code and I assume it's
| correct
|
| - when the task opens event, perf_sched_events jump label is
| incremented and following callbacks are started from scheduler
|
| __perf_event_task_sched_in
| __perf_event_task_sched_out
|
| These callback *in/out set/unset cpuctx->task_ctx value to the
| task context.
|
| - close is called on event on CPU 0:
| - the task is scheduled on CPU 0
| - __perf_event_task_sched_in is called
| - cpuctx->task_ctx is set
| - perf_sched_events jump label is decremented and == 0
| - __perf_event_task_sched_out is not called
| - cpuctx->task_ctx on CPU 0 stays set
|
| - exit is called on CPU 1:
| - the task is scheduled on CPU 1
| - perf_event_exit_task is called
| - task_ctx_sched_out unsets cpuctx->task_ctx on CPU 1
| - put_ctx destroys the context
|
| - another call of perf_rotate_context on CPU 0 will use invalid
| task_ctx pointer, and eventualy panic.
|
Cure this the simplest possibly way by partially reverting the
jump_label optimization for the sched_out case.
