perf/core: Fix aux_mmap_count vs aux_refcount order
The order of accesses to ring buffer's aux_mmap_count and aux_refcount has to be preserved across the users, namely perf_mmap_close() and perf_aux_output_begin(), otherwise the inversion can result in the latter holding the last reference to the aux buffer and subsequently free'ing it in atomic context, triggering a warning. > ------------[ cut here ]------------ > WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 257 at kernel/events/ring_buffer.c:541 __rb_free_aux+0x11a/0x130 > CPU: 0 PID: 257 Comm: stopbug Not tainted 4.8.0-rc1+ #2596 > Call Trace: > [<ffffffff810f3e0b>] __warn+0xcb/0xf0 > [<ffffffff810f3f3d>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1d/0x20 > [<ffffffff8121182a>] __rb_free_aux+0x11a/0x130 > [<ffffffff812127a8>] rb_free_aux+0x18/0x20 > [<ffffffff81212913>] perf_aux_output_begin+0x163/0x1e0 > [<ffffffff8100c33a>] bts_event_start+0x3a/0xd0 > [<ffffffff8100c42d>] bts_event_add+0x5d/0x80 > [<ffffffff81203646>] event_sched_in.isra.104+0xf6/0x2f0 > [<ffffffff8120652e>] group_sched_in+0x6e/0x190 > [<ffffffff8120694e>] ctx_sched_in+0x2fe/0x5f0 > [<ffffffff81206ca0>] perf_event_sched_in+0x60/0x80 > [<ffffffff81206d1b>] ctx_resched+0x5b/0x90 > [<ffffffff81207281>] __perf_event_enable+0x1e1/0x240 > [<ffffffff81200639>] event_function+0xa9/0x180 > [<ffffffff81202000>] ? perf_cgroup_attach+0x70/0x70 > [<ffffffff8120203f>] remote_function+0x3f/0x50 > [<ffffffff811971f3>] flush_smp_call_function_queue+0x83/0x150 > [<ffffffff81197bd3>] generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt+0x13/0x60 > [<ffffffff810a6477>] smp_call_function_single_interrupt+0x27/0x40 > [<ffffffff81a26ea9>] call_function_single_interrupt+0x89/0x90 > [<ffffffff81120056>] finish_task_switch+0xa6/0x210 > [<ffffffff81120017>] ? finish_task_switch+0x67/0x210 > [<ffffffff81a1e83d>] __schedule+0x3dd/0xb50 > [<ffffffff81a1efe5>] schedule+0x35/0x80 > [<ffffffff81128031>] sys_sched_yield+0x61/0x70 > [<ffffffff81a25be5>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x18/0xa8 > ---[ end trace 6235f556f5ea83a9 ]--- This patch puts the checks in perf_aux_output_begin() in the same order as that of perf_mmap_close().
