Vince's perf-trinity fuzzer found yet another 'interesting' problem. When we sample the irq_work_exit tracepoint with period==1 (or PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD) and we add an fasync SIGNAL handler we create an infinite event generation loop: ,-> <IPI> | irq_work_exit() -> | trace_irq_work_exit() -> | ... | __perf_event_overflow() -> (due to fasync) | irq_work_queue() -> (irq_work_list must be empty) '--------- arch_irq_work_raise() Similar things can happen due to regular poll() wakeups if we exceed the ring-buffer wakeup watermark, or have an event_limit. To avoid this, dis-allow sampling this particular tracepoint. In order to achieve this, create a special perf_perm function pointer for each event and call this (when set) on trying to create a tracepoint perf event.
