From 1d9d8639c063caf6efc2447f5f26aa637f844ff6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephane Eranian Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2013 14:26:07 +0100 Subject: perf,x86: fix kernel crash with PEBS/BTS after suspend/resume This patch fixes a kernel crash when using precise sampling (PEBS) after a suspend/resume. Turns out the CPU notifier code is not invoked on CPU0 (BP). Therefore, the DS_AREA (used by PEBS) is not restored properly by the kernel and keeps it power-on/resume value of 0 causing any PEBS measurement to crash when running on CPU0. The workaround is to add a hook in the actual resume code to restore the DS Area MSR value. It is invoked for all CPUS. So for all but CPU0, the DS_AREA will be restored twice but this is harmless.
