From d75be03af111fb5a31eba82f665242e6d8b07008 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arun KS Date: Wed, 11 May 2016 10:11:36 +0530 Subject: msm: perf: Do not allocate new hw_event if event is duplicate. During a perf_event_enable, kernel/events/core.c calls pmu->add() which is platform implementation(arch/arm/kernel/perf_event.c). Due to the duplicate constraints, arch/arm/mach-msm/perf_event_msm_krait_l2.c drivers marks the event as OFF but returns TRUE to perf_event.c which goes ahead and allocates the hw_event and enables it. Since event is marked OFF, kernel events core will try to enable this event again during next perf_event_enable. Which results in same event enabled on multiple hw_events. But during the perf_release, event struct is freed and only one hw_event is released. This results in dereferencing the invalid pointer and hence the crash. Fix this by returning error in case of constraint event duplicate. Hence avoiding the same event programmed on multiple hw event counters.
