perf/core: Fix perf_pmu_register() vs. perf_init_event()
There is a fairly obvious race between perf_init_event() doing idr_find() and perf_pmu_register() doing idr_alloc() with an incompletely initialized PMU pointer. Avoid by doing idr_alloc() on a NULL pointer to register the id, and swizzling the real struct pmu pointer at the end using idr_replace(). Also making sure to not set struct pmu members after publishing the struct pmu, duh. [ introduce idr_cmpxchg() in order to better handle the idr_replace() error case -- if it were to return an unexpected pointer, it will already have replaced the value and there is no going back. ] Signed-off-by:Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by:
