commit db4a835601b7
("perf/core: Set cgroup in CPU contexts for new cgroup events")
failed to verify that event->cgrp is actually the scheduled cgroup
in a CPU before setting cpuctx->cgrp. This patch fixes that.
Now that there is a different path for scheduled and unscheduled
cgroup, add a warning to catch when cpuctx->cgrp is still set after
the last cgroup event has been unsheduled.
To verify the bug:
# Create 2 cgroups.
mkdir /dev/cgroups/devices/g1
mkdir /dev/cgroups/devices/g2
# launch a task, bind it to a cpu and move it to g1
CPU=2
while :; do : ; done &
P=$!
taskset -pc $CPU $P
echo $P > /dev/cgroups/devices/g1/tasks
# monitor g2 (it runs no tasks) and observe output
perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -C $CPU -G g2
# time counts unit events
1.000091408 7,579,527 cycles g2
2.000350111 <not counted> cycles g2
3.000589181 <not counted> cycles g2
4.000771428 <not counted> cycles g2
# note first line that displays that a task run in g2, despite
# g2 having no tasks. This is because cpuctx->cgrp was wrongly
# set when context of new event was installed.
# After applying the fix we obtain the right output:
perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -C $CPU -G g2
# time counts unit events
1.000119615 <not counted> cycles g2
2.000389430 <not counted> cycles g2
3.000590962 <not counted> cycles g2
