From: Peter Zijlstra peterz@infradead.org Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2020 20:33:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf/core: Fix event cgroup tracking
Song reports that installing cgroup events is broken since:
db0503e4f675 ("perf/core: Optimize perf_install_in_event()")
The problem being that cgroup events try to track cpuctx->cgrp even for disabled events, which is pointless and actively harmful since the above commit. Rework the code to have explicit enable/disable hooks for cgroup events, such that we can limit cgroup tracking to active events.
More specifically, since the above commit disabled events are no longer added to their context from the 'right' CPU, and we can't access things like the current cgroup for a remote CPU.
