Linux-next commit titled "perf/core: Optimize perf_init_event()"
changed the semantics of PMU device driver registration.
It was done to speed up the lookup/handling of PMU device driver
specific events. It also enforces that only one PMU device
driver will be registered of type PERF_EVENT_RAW.
This change added these line in function perf_pmu_register():
...
+ ret = idr_alloc(&pmu_idr, pmu, max, 0, GFP_KERNEL);
+ if (ret < 0)
goto free_pdc;
+
+ WARN_ON(type >= 0 && ret != type);
The warn_on generates a message. We have 3 PMU device drivers,
each registered as type PERF_TYPE_RAW.
The cf_diag device driver (arch/s390/kernel/perf_cpumf_cf_diag.c)
always hits the WARN_ON because it is the second PMU device driver
(after sampling device driver arch/s390/kernel/perf_cpumf_sf.c)
which is registered as type 4 (PERF_TYPE_RAW).
So when the sampling device driver is registered, ret has value 4.
When cf_diag device driver is registered with type 4,
ret has value of 5 and WARN_ON fires.
Adjust the PMU device drivers for s390 to support the new
semantics required by perf_pmu_register().

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.
