If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Taeyang Lee <0wn@theori.io> [ Upstream commit 037a3c43edfb597665dd34457cd22b14692f2ba3 ] perf_event_remove_on_exec() removes events by calling perf_event_exit_event(). For top-level events, this removes the event from the context without DETACH_GROUP. This can leave inconsistent group state when a removed event is a group leader and the group contains siblings without remove_on_exec. If the group was active, the surviving siblings can remain active and attached to the removed leader's sibling list, but are no longer represented by a valid group leader on the PMU context active lists. A later close of the removed leader uses DETACH_GROUP and can promote the still-active siblings from this stale group state. The next schedule-in can then add an already-linked active_list entry again, corrupting the PMU context active list. With DEBUG_LIST enabled, this is caught as a list_add double-add in merge_sched_in(). Fix this by detaching group relationships when remove_on_exec removes an event. This preserves the existing task-exit behavior, while ensuring surviving siblings are ungrouped before the removed event leaves the context.
