From fe4b04fa31a6dcf4358aa84cf81e5a7fd079469b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2011 13:19:09 +0100 Subject: perf: Cure task_oncpu_function_call() races Oleg reported that on architectures with __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW the IPI from task_oncpu_function_call() can land before perf_event_task_sched_in() and cause interesting situations for eg. perf_install_in_context(). This patch reworks the task_oncpu_function_call() interface to give a more usable primitive as well as rework all its users to hopefully be more obvious as well as remove the races. While looking at the code I also found a number of races against perf_event_task_sched_out() which can flip contexts between tasks so plug those too.
