WARNING in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c

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.

Vince
