perf_counter: Fix race in counter initialization
We need the PID namespace and counter ID available when the counter overflows and we need to generate a sample event. [ Impact: fix kernel crash with high-frequency sampling ] Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: John Kacur <jkacur@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> [ fixed a further crash and cleaned up the initialization a bit ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
