Instead, it now returns ok, which means "I do not manage". The current allocator is not yet managing the full set of PMU registers (e.g., GLOBAL_* on Core 2). [watchdog] do not BUG_ON() in the MSR allocator if MSR is unknown, return ok instead Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner --- diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perfctr-watchdog.c b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perfctr-watchdog.c index 54cdbf1a40f1..c02541e6e653 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perfctr-watchdog.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perfctr-watchdog.c @@ -120,7 +120,9 @@ int reserve_perfctr_nmi(unsigned int msr) unsigned int counter; counter = nmi_perfctr_msr_to_bit(msr); - BUG_ON(counter > NMI_MAX_COUNTER_BITS); + /* register not managed by the allocator? */ + if (counter > NMI_MAX_COUNTER_BITS) + return 1; if (!test_and_set_bit(counter, perfctr_nmi_owner)) return 1; @@ -132,7 +134,9 @@ void release_perfctr_nmi(unsigned int msr) unsigned int counter; counter = nmi_perfctr_msr_to_bit(msr); - BUG_ON(counter > NMI_MAX_COUNTER_BITS); + /* register not managed by the allocator? */ + if (counter > NMI_MAX_COUNTER_BITS) + return; clear_bit(counter, perfctr_nmi_owner); } @@ -142,7 +146,9 @@ int reserve_evntsel_nmi(unsigned int msr) unsigned int counter; counter = nmi_evntsel_msr_to_bit(msr); - BUG_ON(counter > NMI_MAX_COUNTER_BITS); + /* register not managed by the allocator? */ + if (counter > NMI_MAX_COUNTER_BITS) + return 1; if (!test_and_set_bit(counter, evntsel_nmi_owner)) return 1; @@ -154,7 +160,9 @@ void release_evntsel_nmi(unsigned int msr) unsigned int counter; counter = nmi_evntsel_msr_to_bit(msr); - BUG_ON(counter > NMI_MAX_COUNTER_BITS); + /* register not managed by the allocator? */ + if (counter > NMI_MAX_COUNTER_BITS) + return; clear_bit(counter, evntsel_nmi_owner); }
