[PATCH] perf/core: Add SRCU annotation for pmus list walk

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Tue Nov 19 2019 - 07:14:35 EST


Since commit
28875945ba98d ("rcu: Add support for consolidated-RCU reader checking")

there is an additional check to ensure that a RCU related lock is held
while the RCU list is iterated.
This section holds the SRCU reader lock instead.

Add annotation to list_for_each_entry_rcu() that pmus_srcu must be
acquired during the list traversal.

I see the warning in in v5.4-rc during boot. For some reason I don't see
it in tip/master during boot but "perf stat w" triggers it again (among
other things).
