Right. In fact it wasn't a regression. The per task breakpoint reservation
design was broken from the beginning and this warning has revealed the
problem. This only touched perf, and it did since perf support breakpoints.
Fortunately ptrace wasn't concerned by this problem, even not by side effects
of this.
The fix is invasive as it's a rewrite of a (little) part of the breakpoint
reservation. And since the symptom is only a warning and also breakpoints
never released from the constraint table (just a counter, no memory leak),
the fix is headed for 2.6.36.
It is ready in tip:/perf/core:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git;a=commitdiff;h=45a73372efe4a63f44aa2e1125d4a777c2fdc8d8
I think this ticket can be safely closed.
Thanks.
