In ctx_resched(), EVENT_FLEXIBLE should be sched_out when EVENT_PINNED is
added. However, ctx_resched() calculates ctx_event_type before checking
this condition. As a result, pinned events will NOT get higher priority
than flexible events.
The following shows this issue on an Intel CPU (where ref-cycles can
only use one hardware counter).
1. First start:
perf stat -C 0 -e ref-cycles -I 1000
2. Then, in the second console, run:
perf stat -C 0 -e ref-cycles:D -I 1000
The second perf uses pinned events, which is expected to have higher
priority. However, because it failed in ctx_resched(). It is never
run.
This patch fixes this by calculating ctx_event_type after re-evaluating
event_type.
