    perf: Fix race in swevent hash · 311c3b32
    Peter Zijlstra authored
    commit 12ca6ad2 upstream.
    
    There's a race on CPU unplug where we free the swevent hash array
    while it can still have events on. This will result in a
    use-after-free which is BAD.
    
    Simply do not free the hash array on unplug. This leaves the thing
    around and no use-after-free takes place.
    
    When the last swevent dies, we do a for_each_possible_cpu() iteration
    anyway to clean these up, at which time we'll free it, so no leakage
    will occur.
