From 500ad2d8b01390c98bc6dce068bccfa9534b8212 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "K.Prasad" Date: Thu, 2 Aug 2012 13:46:35 +0530 Subject: perf/hwpb: Invoke __perf_event_disable() if interrupts are already disabled While debugging a warning message on PowerPC while using hardware breakpoints, it was discovered that when perf_event_disable is invoked through hw_breakpoint_handler function with interrupts disabled, a subsequent IPI in the code path would trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE message in smp_call_function_single function. This patch calls __perf_event_disable() when interrupts are already disabled, instead of perf_event_disable().
