   # HEAD: 9929dffce5ed7e2988e0274f4db98035508b16d9 perf/x86/intel: Fix and clean up intel_pmu_drain_arch_pebs() type use

Performance events changes for v6.19:

Callchain support:

 - Add support for deferred user-space stack unwinding for
   perf, enabled on x86. (Peter Zijlstra, Steven Rostedt)

I'm not seeing this patch on the mailing list, so I'm asking here. An
AI review flagged this change and the condition it describes sounds
unlikely but possible:

Does this code expose us to a #GP on hybrid platforms if the CPUID check
fails? For hybrid processors, update_pmu_cap() is deferred to
init_hybrid_pmu(), which runs after intel_pmu_init() sets up the static
calls. If update_pmu_cap() encounters an inconsistent CPUID and clears
x86_pmu.arch_pebs, the static calls remain patched. This will cause
intel_pmu_enable_event_ext() to execute on precise events and access
MSR_IA32_PEBS_INDEX, potentially crashing the kernel.

Thanks,
Ian
