Subject: perf: Fix reading in perf_event_read()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=542e72fc90f5ed9eecb574f80f70868c7f296093;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

perf: Fix reading in perf_event_read()

It is quite possible for the event to have been disabled between
perf_event_read() sending the IPI and the CPU servicing the IPI and
calling __perf_event_read(), hence revalidate the state.
