From 0231bb5336758426b44ccd798ccd3c5419c95d58 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Fri, 1 Feb 2013 11:23:45 +0100 Subject: perf: Fix event group context move When we have group with mixed events (hw/sw) we want to end up with group leader being in hw context. So if group leader is initialy sw event, we move all the events under hw context. The move is done for each event by removing it from its context and adding it back into proper one. As a part of the removal the event is automatically disabled, which is not what we want at this stage of creating groups. The fix is to initialize event state after removal from sw context. This fix resulted from the following discussion: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.perf.user/1144 Reported-by: Andreas Hollmann Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Corey Ashford Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Cc: Vince Weaver Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1359714225-4231-1-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- kernel/events/core.c | 20 ++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'kernel') diff --git a/kernel/events/core.c b/kernel/events/core.c index 301079d06f24..7b6646a8c067 100644 --- a/kernel/events/core.c +++ b/kernel/events/core.c @@ -907,6 +907,15 @@ list_add_event(struct perf_event *event, struct perf_event_context *ctx) ctx->nr_stat++; } +/* + * Initialize event state based on the perf_event_attr::disabled. + */ +static inline void perf_event__state_init(struct perf_event *event) +{ + event->state = event->attr.disabled ?
