drivers/perf: arm-pmu: fix RCU usage on pmu resume from low-power
Commit da4e4f18afe0 ("drivers/perf: arm_pmu: implement CPU_PM notifier") added code in the arm perf infrastructure that allows the kernel to save/restore perf counters whenever the CPU enters a low-power state. The kernel saves/restores the counters for each active event through the armpmu_{stop/start} ARM pmu API, so that the low-power state enter/exit cycle is emulated through pmu start/stop operations for each event in use. However, calling armpmu_start() for each active event on power up executes code that requires RCU locking (perf_event_update_userpage()) to be functional, so, given that the core may call the CPU_PM notifiers while running the idle thread in an quiescent RCU state this is not allowed as detected through the following splat when kernel is run with CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING enabled: [ 49.293286] [ 49.294761] =============================== [ 49.298895] [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ] [ 49.303031] 4.6.0-rc3+ #421 Not tainted [ 49.306821] ------------------------------- [ 49.310956] include/linux/rcupdate.h:872 rcu_read_lock() used illegally while idle!
