Anand K Mistry 02d029a41d perf/x86: Reset destroy callback on event init failure 
perf_init_event tries multiple init callbacks and does not reset the
event state between tries. When x86_pmu_event_init runs, it
unconditionally sets the destroy callback to hw_perf_event_destroy. On
the next init attempt after x86_pmu_event_init, in perf_try_init_event,
if the pmu's capabilities includes PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE, the destroy
callback will be run. However, if the next init didn't set the destroy
callback, hw_perf_event_destroy will be run (since the callback wasn't
reset).

Looking at other pmu init functions, the common pattern is to only set
the destroy callback on a successful init. Resetting the callback on
failure tries to replicate that pattern.

This was discovered after commit f11dd0d805 ("perf/x86/amd/ibs: Extend
PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE to IBS Op") when the second (and only second)
run of the perf tool after a reboot results in 0 samples being
generated. The extra run of hw_perf_event_destroy results in
active_events having an extra decrement on each perf run. The second run
has active_events == 0 and every subsequent run has active_events < 0.
When active_events == 0, the NMI handler will early-out and not record
any samples.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
