Linus,

please pull the latest perf/urgent branch from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git perf-urgent-2020-12-06

up to: fc17db8aa4c5: perf/x86/intel: Check PEBS status correctly


Two fixes for performance monitoring on X86:

- Add recursion protection to another callchain invoked from
x86_pmu_stop() which can recurse back into x86_pmu_stop(). The first
attempt to fix this missed this extra code path.

- Use the already filtered status variable to check for PEBS counter
overflow bits and not the unfiltered full status read from
IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS which can have unrelated bits check which
would be evaluated incorrectly.


Thanks,

tglx
