Subject[PATCH] MIPS: perf: fix deadlock
Date
From: Rabin Vincent <rabinv@axis.com>

mipsxx_pmu_handle_shared_irq() calls irq_work_run() while holding the
pmuint_rwlock for read. irq_work_run() can, via perf_pending_event(),
call try_to_wake_up() which can try to take rq->lock.

However, perf can also call perf_pmu_enable() (and thus take the
pmuint_rwlock for write) while holding the rq->lock, from
finish_task_switch() via perf_event_context_sched_in().

This leads to an ABBA deadlock:

The lock seems to be there to protect the hardware counters so there is
no need to hold it across irq_work_run().
