perf/core: Fix another perf,trace,cpuhp lock inversion
Lockdep noticed the following 3-way lockup race: perf_trace_init() #0 mutex_lock(&event_mutex) perf_trace_event_init() perf_trace_event_reg() tp_event->class->reg() := tracepoint_probe_register #1 mutex_lock(&tracepoints_mutex) trace_point_add_func() #2 static_key_enable() #2 do_cpu_up() perf_event_init_cpu() #3 mutex_lock(&pmus_lock) #4 mutex_lock(&ctx->mutex) perf_ioctl() #4 ctx = perf_event_ctx_lock() _perf_iotcl() ftrace_profile_set_filter() #0 mutex_lock(&event_mutex) Fudge it for now by noting that the tracepoint state does not depend on the event <-> context relation. Ugly though :/ Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
