perf/x86/intel: Use PAGE_SIZE for PEBS buffer size on Core2
commit e72daf3f4d764c47fb71c9bdc7f9c54a503825b1 upstream. Using PAGE_SIZE buffers makes the WRMSR to PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL in intel_pmu_enable_all() mysteriously hang on Core2. As a workaround, we don't do this. The hard lockup is easily triggered by running 'perf test attr' repeatedly. Most of the time it gets stuck on sample session with small periods. # perf test attr -vv 14: struct perf_event_attr setup : --- start --- ... 'PERF_TEST_ATTR=/tmp/tmpuEKz3B /usr/bin/perf record -o /tmp/tmpuEKz3B/perf.data -c 123 kill >/dev/null 2>&1' ret 1 Reported-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Vince Weaver <vincent.weaver@maine.edu> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160301190352.GA8355@krava.redhat.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
