[PATCH] perf: remove deprecated warn_on_once()

From: Stephane Eranian
Date: Thu Feb 02 2012 - 06:04:07 EST



With the new throttling/unthrottling code introduced with
commit e050e3f, we hit two warn_on_once() in:
- intel_pmu_pebs_enable()
- intel_pmu_lbr_enable()

The assertions are no longer problematic. There is a valid
path where they can trigger but it is harmless.

The assertion can be triggered with:
$ perf record -e instructions:pp ....

Leading to paths:

intel_pmu_pebs_enable
intel_pmu_enable_event
x86_perf_event_set_period
x86_pmu_start
perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context
perf_event_task_tick
scheduler_tick

And:

intel_pmu_lbr_enable
intel_pmu_enable_event
x86_perf_event_set_period
x86_pmu_start
perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.
perf_event_task_tick
scheduler_tick

cpuc->enabled is always on because when we get to
perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context() the PMU is not totally
disabled. Furthermore when we need to adjust a period,
we only stop the event we need to change and not the
entire PMU. Thus, when we re-enable, cpuc->enabled is
already set. Note that when we stop the event, both
pebs and lbr are stopped if necessary (and possible).
