perf/core: Fix lock inversion between perf,trace,cpuhp Lockdep gifted us with noticing the following 4-way lockup scenario: perf_trace_init() #0 mutex_lock(&event_mutex) perf_trace_event_init() perf_trace_event_reg() tp_event->class->reg() := tracepoint_probe_register #1 mutex_lock(&tracepoints_mutex) trace_point_add_func() #2 static_key_enable() #2 do_cpu_up() perf_event_init_cpu() #3 mutex_lock(&pmus_lock) #4 mutex_lock(&ctx->mutex) perf_event_task_disable() mutex_lock(¤t->perf_event_mutex) #4 ctx = perf_event_ctx_lock() #5 perf_event_for_each_child() do_exit() task_work_run() __fput() perf_release() perf_event_release_kernel() #4 mutex_lock(&ctx->mutex) #5 mutex_lock(&event->child_mutex) free_event() _free_event() event->destroy() := perf_trace_destroy #0 mutex_lock(&event_mutex); Fix that by moving the free_event() out from under the locks.
