[PATCH] perf/x86/intel: Add cpu_(prepare|starting|dying) for core_pmu

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Tue Apr 21 2015 - 04:54:46 EST


The core_pmu does not define cpu_* callbacks, which handles
allocation of 'struct cpu_hw_events::shared_regs' data,
initialization of debug store and PMU_FL_EXCL_CNTRS counters.

While this probably won't happen on bare metal, virtual CPU can
define x86_pmu.extra_regs together with PMU version 1 and thus
be using core_pmu -> using shared_regs data without it being
allocated. That could could leave to following panic:

Adding cpu_(prepare|starting|dying) for core_pmu to have shared_regs
data allocated for core_pmu. AFAICS there's no harm to initialize
debug store and PMU_FL_EXCL_CNTRS either for core_pmu.
