    perf: Fix events installation during moving group · 9fc81d87
    Jiri Olsa 提交于
    We allow PMU driver to change the cpu on which the event
    should be installed to. This happened in patch:
    
      e2d37cd2 ("perf: Allow the PMU driver to choose the CPU on which to install events")
    
    This patch also forces all the group members to follow
    the currently opened events cpu if the group happened
    to be moved.
    
    This and the change of event->cpu in perf_install_in_context()
    function introduced in:
    
      0cda4c02 ("perf: Introduce perf_pmu_migrate_context()")
    
    forces group members to change their event->cpu,
    if the currently-opened-event's PMU changed the cpu
    and there is a group move.
    
    Above behaviour causes problem for breakpoint events,
    which uses event->cpu to touch cpu specific data for
    breakpoints accounting. By changing event->cpu, some
    breakpoints slots were wrongly accounted for given
    cpu.
    
    Vinces's perf fuzzer hit this issue and caused following
    WARN on my setup:
    
       WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 20214 at arch/x86/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:119 arch_install_hw_breakpoint+0x142/0x150()
       Can't find any breakpoint slot
       [...]
    
    This patch changes the group moving code to keep the event's
    original cpu.
