Subject: [PATCH v3 4/9] perf/x86/lbr: Use GFP_ATOMIC for cpuc->lbr_xsave memory allocation
Date: Wed,  3 Mar 2021 21:57:50 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210303135756.1546253-5-like.xu@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210303135756.1546253-1-like.xu@linux.intel.com>

When allocating the cpuc->lbr_xsave memory in the guest Arch LBR driver,
we may get a stacktrace due to relatively slow execution like below:

Fix it by allocating this part of memory with GFP_ATOMIC mask.
