From 3c502e7a0255d82621ff25d60cc816624830497e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Wessel Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2010 17:33:01 -0500 Subject: perf,hw_breakpoint: Initialize hardware api earlier When using early debugging, the kernel does not initialize the hw_breakpoint API early enough and causes the late initialization of the kernel debugger to fail. The boot arguments are: earlyprintk=vga ekgdboc=kbd kgdbwait Then simply type "go" at the kdb prompt and boot. The kernel will later emit the message: kgdb: Could not allocate hwbreakpoints And at that point the kernel debugger will cease to work correctly. The solution is to initialize the hw_breakpoint at the same time that all the other perf call backs are initialized instead of using a core_initcall() initialization which happens well after the kernel debugger can make use of hardware breakpoints.

Eventually it turned out to be due to the list rotation no being exclusive with the list iteration in the inheritance code. Cure this by temporarily disabling the rotation while we inherit the events.
