The check logic in the pmc_resume_counter() to determine whether
a perf_event is reusable is partial and flawed, especially when it
comes to a pseudocode sequence (contrived, but valid) like:
- enabling a counter and its PEBS bit
- enable global_ctrl
- run workload
- disable only the PEBS bit, leaving the global_ctrl bit enabled
In this corner case, a perf_event created for PEBS can be reused by
a normal counter before it has been released and recreated, and when this
normal counter overflows, it triggers a PEBS interrupt (precise_ip != 0).
To address this issue, reprogram all affected counters when PEBS_ENABLE
change and reuse a counter if and only if PEBS exactly matches precise.

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 Restructured Text 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.
