perf_counter, x86: Make NMI lockups more robust
We have a debug check that detects stuck NMIs and returns with the PMU disabled in the global ctrl MSR - but i managed to trigger a situation where this was not enough to deassert the NMI. So clear/reset the full PMU and keep the disable count balanced when exiting from here. This way the box produces a debug warning but stays up and is more debuggable. [ Impact: in case of PMU related bugs, recover more gracefully ] Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: John Kacur <jkacur@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
