I bisected a system hang condition down to this commit.
To reproduce the hang, compile the below code and execute it as root
on an x86_64 server (AMD or Intel). The code is opening a
PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT event with a non-zero pe.config.
If I revert the commit from Linus' ToT, the system stays up.
.config attached.
Thanks,
Kim
