Subject: perf/x86/ibs: Fix race with IBS_STARTING state
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5a50f52917011365a4a2c0f1d2cea0990c4465cd;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

perf/x86/ibs: Fix race with IBS_STARTING state

While tracing the IBS bits I saw the NMI hitting between clearing
IBS_STARTING and the actual MSR writes to disable the counter.

Since IBS_STARTING was cleared, the handler assumed these were spurious
NMIs and because STOPPING wasn't set yet either, insta-triggered an
"Unknown NMI".

Cure this by clearing IBS_STARTING after disabling the hardware.
