Subject[PATCH 1/2] x86/perf: Fix CR4.PCE propagation to use active_mm instead of mm
Date
If one thread mmaps a perf event while another thread in the same mm
is in some context where active_mm != mm (which can happen in the
scheduler, for example), refresh_pce() would write the wrong value
to CR4.PCE. This broke some PAPI tests.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Fixes: 7911d3f7af14 ("perf/x86: Only allow rdpmc if a perf_event is mapped")
