perf, percpu: panic in account_event

[Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com>]

Hi all,

While fuzzing with trinity inside a KVM tools guest running latest -next kernel,
I've stumbled on the following spew.

It seems to happen on the following line in account_event():

	if (event->attr.freq)
		atomic_inc(&per_cpu(perf_freq_events, cpu));  <--- here

Which was recently introduced in commit ("perf: Account freq events per cpu"). Although
the commit is new, it's very simple and straightforward - I can't see anything wrong with
it so maybe the fault is in percpu?
