From e72daf3f4d764c47fb71c9bdc7f9c54a503825b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2016 20:03:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/intel: Use PAGE_SIZE for PEBS buffer size on Core2 Using PAGE_SIZE buffers makes the WRMSR to PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL in intel_pmu_enable_all() mysteriously hang on Core2. As a workaround, we don't do this. The hard lockup is easily triggered by running 'perf test attr' repeatedly. Most of the time it gets stuck on sample session with small periods. # perf test attr -vv 14: struct perf_event_attr setup : --- start --- ...
