Subject: [GIT PULL] perf events fixes
Date: Sat, 9 May 2026 03:40:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <af6QnOrWUKe5Dh1w@gmail.com> (raw)
Linus,
Please pull the latest perf/urgent Git tree from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git perf-urgent-2026-05-09
for you to fetch changes up to aa4384bc8f4360167f3c3d5322121fe892289ea2:
Miscellaneous perf events fixes:
- Fix deadlock in the perf_mmap() failure path (Peter Zijlstra)
- Intel ACR (Auto Counter Reload) fixes (Dapeng Mi):
- Fix validation and configuration of ACR masks
- Fix ACR rescheduling bug causing stale masks
- Disable the PMI on ACR-enabled hardware
- Enable ACR on Panther Cover uarch too
Thanks,
Ingo
------------------>
Dapeng Mi (4):
perf/x86/intel: Improve validation and configuration of ACR masks
perf/x86/intel: Always reprogram ACR events to prevent stale masks
perf/x86/intel: Disable PMI for self-reloaded ACR events
perf/x86/intel: Enable auto counter reload for DMR
