From: Paul Burton Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2017 05:07:18 +0000 (-0700) Subject: MIPS: Fix perf event init X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fd0b19ed5389187829b854900511c9195875bb42;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git MIPS: Fix perf event init Commit c311c797998c ("cpumask: make "nr_cpumask_bits" unsigned") modified mipspmu_event_init() to cast the struct perf_event cpu field to an unsigned integer before it is compared with nr_cpumask_bits (and *ahem* did so without copying the linux-mips mailing list or any MIPS developers...). This is broken because the cpu field may be -1 for events which follow a process rather than being affine to a particular CPU. When this is the case the cast to an unsigned int results in a value equal to ULONG_MAX, which is always greater than nr_cpumask_bits so we always fail mipspmu_event_init() and return -ENODEV. The check against nr_cpumask_bits seems nonsensical anyway, so this patch simply removes it. The cpu field is going to either be -1 or a valid CPU number. Comparing it with nr_cpumask_bits is effectively checking that it's a valid cpu number, but it seems safe to rely on the core perf events code to ensure that's the case. The end result is that this fixes use of perf on MIPS when not constraining events to a particular CPU, and fixes the "perf list hw" command which fails to list any events without this.
