This can happen irrespective of the ctx switch optimization, any task can die, even the parent, and we want to continue monitoring the task hierarchy until we either close the event or no tasks are left in the hierarchy. perf_event_init_context() will attempt to pin the 'parent' context during clone(). At that point current is the parent, and since current cannot have exited while executing clone(), its context cannot have passed through perf_event_exit_task_context(). Therefore perf_pin_task_context() cannot observe ctx->task == TASK_TOMBSTONE. However, since inherit_event() does: if (parent_event->parent) parent_event = parent_event->parent; it looks at the 'original' event when it does: is_orphaned_event(). This can return true if the context that contains the this event has passed through perf_event_exit_task_context(). And thus we'll fail to clone the perf context. Fix this by adding a new state: STATE_DEAD, which is set by perf_release() to indicate that the filedesc (or kernel reference) is dead and there are no observers for our data left. Only for STATE_DEAD will is_orphaned_event() be true and inhibit cloning. STATE_EXIT is otherwise preserved such that is_event_hup() remains functional and will report when the observed task hierarchy becomes empty.
