Subject: perf: Annotate cpuctx->ctx.mutex to avoid a lockdep splat
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=547e9fd7d328af261f184bf66effc5033c886498;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

perf: Annotate cpuctx->ctx.mutex to avoid a lockdep splat

Lockdep spotted:

	loop_1b_instruc/1899 is trying to acquire lock:
	 (event_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff810e1908>] perf_trace_init+0x3b/0x2f7

	but task is already holding lock:
	 (&ctx->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff810eb45b>] perf_event_init_context+0xc0/0x218

	which lock already depends on the new lock.

	the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

	-> #3 (&ctx->mutex){+.+.+.}:
	-> #2 (cpu_hotplug.lock){+.+.+.}:
	-> #1 (module_mutex){+.+...}:
	-> #0 (event_mutex){+.+.+.}:

But because the deadlock would be cpuhotplug (cpu-event) vs fork
(task-event) it cannot, in fact, happen. We can annotate this by giving the
perf_event_context used for the cpuctx a different lock class from those
used by tasks.
