perf_counter: Fix counter inheritance
Srivatsa Vaddagiri reported that a Java workload triggers this warning in kernel/exit.c: WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(&tsk->perf_counter_ctx.counter_list)); Add the inherited counter propagation on self-detach, this could cause counter leaks and incomplete stats in threaded code like the below: #include <pthread.h> #include <unistd.h> void *thread(void *arg) { sleep(5); return NULL; } void main(void) { pthread_t thr; pthread_create(&thr, NULL, thread, NULL); } Reported-by: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
