perf: Fix double start/stop in x86_pmu_start()
The following patch fixes a bug introduced by the following commit: e050e3f0a71b ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling") The patch caused the following warning to pop up depending on the sampling frequency adjustments: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c:995 x86_pmu_start+0x79/0xd4() It was caused by the following call sequence: perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.part() { stop() if (delta > 0) { perf_adjust_period() { if (period > 8*...) { stop() ... start() } } } start() } Which caused a double start and a double stop, thus triggering the assert in x86_pmu_start(). The patch fixes the problem by avoiding the double calls. We pass a new argument to perf_adjust_period() to indicate whether or not the event is already stopped. We can't just remove the start/stop from that function because it's called from __perf_event_overflow where the event needs to be reloaded via a stop/start back-toback call. The patch reintroduces the assertion in x86_pmu_start() which was removed by commit: 84f2b9b ("perf: Remove deprecated WARN_ON_ONCE()") In this second version, we've added calls to disable/enable PMU during unthrottling or frequency adjustment based on bug report of spurious NMI interrupts from Eric Dumazet.
