Subject: perf: Cure event->pending_disable race
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
commit 28a967c3a2f99fa3b5f762f25cb2a319d933571b upstream.
Because event_sched_out() checks event->pending_disable _before_
actually disabling the event, it can happen that the event fires after
it checks but before it gets disabled.
This would leave event->pending_disable set and the queued irq_work
will try and process it.
However, if the event trigger was during schedule(), the event might
have been de-scheduled by the time the irq_work runs, and
perf_event_disable_local() will fail.
Fix this by checking event->pending_disable _after_ we call
event->pmu->del(). This depends on the latter being a compiler
barrier, such that the compiler does not lift the load and re-creates
the problem.
