From 1fafaa7745eeeeffef7155ab5eeb8cc83d04874f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pingfan Liu Date: Fri, 19 May 2023 10:18:29 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] watchdog/perf: ensure CPU-bound context when creating hardlockup detector event hardlockup_detector_event_create() should create perf_event on the current CPU. Preemption could not get disabled because perf_event_create_kernel_counter() allocates memory. Instead, the CPU locality is achieved by processing the code in a per-CPU bound kthread. Add a check to prevent mistakes when calling the code in another code path.
