commit3202e35ec1upstream. Consider a scenario where user creates two events: 1st event: attr.sample_type |= PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK; attr.branch_sample_type = PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_ANY; fd = perf_event_open(attr, 0, 1, -1, 0); This sets cpuhw->bhrb_filter to 0 and returns valid fd. 2nd event: attr.sample_type |= PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK; attr.branch_sample_type = PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL; fd = perf_event_open(attr, 0, 1, -1, 0); It overrides cpuhw->bhrb_filter to -1 and returns with error. Now if power_pmu_enable() gets called by any path other than power_pmu_add(), ppmu->config_bhrb(-1) will set MMCRA to -1.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
