Weird, amd_pmu_lbr_reset() is called from these places:

- amd_pmu_lbr_sched_task(): during task sched-in during
context-switching, this should already have preemption disabled.

- amd_pmu_lbr_add(): this gets indirectly called by amd_pmu::add
(amd_pmu_add_event()), called by event_sched_in(), which too should have
preemption disabled.

I clearly must have missed some additional place it gets called in.

Could you please cite the full log of the amd_pmu_lbr_reset() call that
caused the critical section warning?

Thanks,

Ingo

Below is the call trace in case you think it's better to disable preemption by the caller instead. If you think it's better to keep it in amd_pmu_lbr_reset() I'll add this trace to the commit message.
