Kan Liang 92f32f1086 perf/x86/intel/ds: Don't clear ->pebs_data_cfg for the last PEBS event 
commit 312be9fc22 upstream.

The MSR_PEBS_DATA_CFG MSR register is used to configure which data groups
should be generated into a PEBS record, and it's shared among all counters.

If there are different configurations among counters, perf combines all the
configurations.

The first perf command as below requires a complete PEBS record
(including memory info, GPRs, XMMs, and LBRs). The second perf command
only requires a basic group. However, after the second perf command is
running, the MSR_PEBS_DATA_CFG register is cleared. Only a basic group is
generated in a PEBS record, which is wrong. The required information
for the first perf command is missed.

 $ perf record --intr-regs=AX,SP,XMM0 -a -C 8 -b -W -d -c 100000003 -o /dev/null -e cpu/event=0xd0,umask=0x81/upp &
 $ sleep 5
 $ perf record  --per-thread  -c 1  -e cycles:pp --no-timestamp --no-tid taskset -c 8 ./noploop 1000

The first PEBS event is a system-wide PEBS event. The second PEBS event
is a per-thread event. When the thread is scheduled out, the
intel_pmu_pebs_del() function is invoked to update the PEBS state.
Since the system-wide event is still available, the cpuc->n_pebs is 1.
The cpuc->pebs_data_cfg is cleared. The data configuration for the
system-wide PEBS event is lost.

The (cpuc->n_pebs == 1) check was introduced in commit:

  b6a32f023f ("perf/x86: Fix PEBS threshold initialization")

At that time, it indeed didn't hurt whether the state was updated
during the removal, because only the threshold is updated.

The calculation of the threshold takes the last PEBS event into
account.

However, since commit:

  b752ea0c28 ("perf/x86/intel/ds: Flush PEBS DS when changing PEBS_DATA_CFG")

we delay the threshold update, and clear the PEBS data config, which triggers
the bug.

The PEBS data config update scope should not be shrunk during removal.

[ mingo: Improved the changelog & comments. ]

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
