Yue and Xingwei reported a jump label failure. It's caused by the lack of
serialization in set_attr_rdpmc():
CPU0 CPU1
Assume: x86_pmu.attr_rdpmc == 0
if (val != x86_pmu.attr_rdpmc) {
if (val == 0)
...
else if (x86_pmu.attr_rdpmc == 0)
static_branch_dec(&rdpmc_never_available_key);
if (val != x86_pmu.attr_rdpmc) {
if (val == 0)
...
else if (x86_pmu.attr_rdpmc == 0)
FAIL, due to imbalance ---> static_branch_dec(&rdpmc_never_available_key);
The reported BUG() is a consequence of the above and of another bug in the
jump label core code. The core code needs a separate fix, but that cannot
prevent the imbalance problem caused by set_attr_rdpmc().
Prevent this by serializing set_attr_rdpmc() locally.
Fixes: a66734297f ("perf/x86: Add /sys/devices/cpu/rdpmc=2 to allow rdpmc for all tasks")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
