(perf:) Status in The Ubuntu-power-systems project: In Progress Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Artful: In Progress Status in linux source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Bug description: == SRU Justification == Due to this bug, perf fuzzer resulted in crash and system goes for a reboot and results in a call trace shown in the bug. It is due to grouping of different PMU events, which is fixed by mainline commit 5aa04b3eb6fca63d2e9827be656dcadc26d54e1 Commit 5aa04b3eb6fca63d2e9827be656dcadc26d54e11 is in mailine as of v4.15-rc5. == Fix == commit 5aa04b3eb6fca63d2e9827be656dcadc26d54e11 Author: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bango...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Date: Thu Nov 30 14:03:22 2017 +0530 powerpc/perf: Fix oops when grouping different pmu events == Regression Potential == Low. This fix is specific to powerpc. == Test Case == A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter. The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug. ==Original Bug Description== == Comment: #0 - Shriya R.
