For historical reasons, we lazily request and free interrupts in the arm pmu driver. This requires us to refcount use of the pmu (by way of counting the active events) in order to request/free interrupts at the correct times, which complicates the driver somewhat. The existing logic is flawed, as it only considers currently online CPUs when requesting, freeing, or managing the affinity of interrupts. Intervening hotplug events can result in erroneous IRQ affinity, online CPUs for which interrupts have not been requested, or offline CPUs whose interrupts are still requested. To fix this, this patch splits the requesting of interrupts from any per-cpu management (i.e. per-cpu enable/disable, and configuration of cpu affinity). We now request all interrupts up-front at probe time (and never free them, since we never unregister PMUs). The management of affinity, and per-cpu enable/disable now happens in our cpu hotplug callback, ensuring it occurs consistently. This means that we must now invoke the CPU hotplug callback at boot time in order to configure IRQs, and since the callback also resets the PMU hardware, we can remove the duplicate reset in the probe path. This rework renders our event refcounting unnecessary, so this is removed.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
