The power_pmu_event_init() callback access per-cpu variable (cpu_hw_events) to check for event constraints and Branch Stack (BHRB). Current usage is to disable preemption when accessing the per-cpu variable, but this does not prevent timer callback from interrupting event_init. Fix this by using 'local_irq_save/restore' to make sure the code path is invoked with disabled interrupts. This change is tested in mambo simulator to ensure that, if a timer interrupt comes in during the per-cpu access in event_init, it will be soft masked and replayed later. For testing purpose, introduced a udelay() in power_pmu_event_init() to make sure a timer interrupt arrives while in per-cpu variable access code between local_irq_save/resore. As expected the timer interrupt was replayed later during local_irq_restore called from power_pmu_event_init. This was confirmed by adding breakpoint in mambo and checking the backtrace when timer_interrupt was hit.

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.
