[ Upstream commit488e13a489] If the kernel is compiled with the CONFIG_LOCKDEP option, the conditional might_sleep_if() deep in kmem_cache_alloc() will generate the following trace, and potentially cause a deadlock when another LBR event is added: [] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/sched/mm.h:196 [] Call Trace: [] kmem_cache_alloc+0x36/0x250 [] intel_pmu_lbr_add+0x152/0x170 [] x86_pmu_add+0x83/0xd0 Make it symmetric with the release_lbr_buffers() call and mirror the existing DS buffers.

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.
