When using per-process mode and event inheritance is set to true, forked processes will create a new perf events via inherit_event() -> perf_event_alloc(). But these events will not have ring buffers assigned to them. Any call to wakeup will be dropped if it's called on an event with no ring buffer assigned because that's the object that holds the wakeup list. If the child event is disabled due to a call to perf_aux_output_begin() or perf_aux_output_end(), the wakeup is dropped leaving userspace hanging forever on the poll. Normally the event is explicitly re-enabled by userspace after it wakes up to read the aux data, but in this case it does not get woken up so the event remains disabled. This can be reproduced when using Arm SPE and 'stress' which forks once before running the workload. By looking at the list of aux buffers read, it's apparent that they stop after the fork: perf record -e arm_spe// -vvv -- stress -c 1 With this patch applied they continue to be printed. This behaviour doesn't happen when using systemwide or per-cpu mode.

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.
