We encounter perf warnings when using cgroup events like: cd /sys/fs/cgroup mkdir test perf stat -e cycles -a -G test Which then triggers: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 690 at kernel/events/core.c:849 perf_cgroup_switch+0xb2/0xc0 Call Trace: <TASK> __schedule+0x4ae/0x9f0 ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x23/0x40 ? __cond_resched+0x18/0x20 preempt_schedule_common+0x2d/0x70 __cond_resched+0x18/0x20 wait_for_completion+0x2f/0x160 ? cpu_stop_queue_work+0x9e/0x130 affine_move_task+0x18a/0x4f0 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 690 at kernel/events/core.c:829 ctx_sched_in+0x1cf/0x1e0 Call Trace: <TASK> ? ctx_sched_out+0xb7/0x1b0 perf_cgroup_switch+0x88/0xc0 __schedule+0x4ae/0x9f0 ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x23/0x40 ? __cond_resched+0x18/0x20 preempt_schedule_common+0x2d/0x70 __cond_resched+0x18/0x20 wait_for_completion+0x2f/0x160 ? cpu_stop_queue_work+0x9e/0x130 affine_move_task+0x18a/0x4f0 The above two warnings are not complete here since I remove other unimportant information. The problem is caused by the perf cgroup events tracking: CPU0 CPU1 perf_event_open() perf_event_alloc() account_event() account_event_cpu() atomic_inc(perf_cgroup_events) __perf_event_task_sched_out() if (atomic_read(perf_cgroup_events)) perf_cgroup_switch() // kernel/events/core.c:849 WARN_ON_ONCE(cpuctx->ctx.nr_cgroups == 0) if (READ_ONCE(cpuctx->cgrp) == cgrp) // false return perf_ctx_lock() ctx_sched_out() cpuctx->cgrp = cgrp ctx_sched_in() perf_cgroup_set_timestamp() // kernel/events/core.c:829 WARN_ON_ONCE(!ctx->nr_cgroups) perf_ctx_unlock() perf_install_in_context() cpu_function_call() __perf_install_in_context() add_event_to_ctx() list_add_event() perf_cgroup_event_enable() ctx->nr_cgroups++ cpuctx->cgrp = X We can see from above that we wrongly use percpu atomic perf_cgroup_events to check if we need to perf_cgroup_switch(), which should only be used when we know this CPU has cgroup events enabled.

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.
