From 1e02cd40f15190b78fcc6b3f50c952fb4028e9a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2016 15:39:24 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf/core: Fix the unthrottle logic Its possible to IOC_PERIOD while the event is throttled, this would re-start the event and the next tick would then try to unthrottle it, and find the event wasn't actually stopped anymore. This would tickle a WARN in the x86-pmu code which isn't expecting to start a !stopped event.
