From 4fe757dd48a9e95e1a071291f15dda5421dacb66 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2011 22:26:07 +0100 Subject: perf: Fix throttle logic It was possible to call pmu::start() on an already running event. In particular this lead so some wreckage as the hrtimer events would re-initialize active timers. This was due to throttled events being activated again by scheduling. Scheduling in a context would add and force start events, resulting in running events with a possible throttle status. The next tick to hit that task will then try to unthrottle the event and call ->start() on an already running event.
