      perf/x86: Fix 'active_events' imbalance · 93472aff
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Commit 1b7b938f ("perf/x86/intel: Fix PMI handling for Intel PT") conditionally
      increments active_events in x86_add_exclusive() but unconditionally decrements in
      x86_del_exclusive().
      
      These extra decrements can lead to the situation where
      active_events is zero and thus the PMI handler is 'disabled'
      while we have active events on the PMU generating PMIs.
      
      This leads to a truckload of:
      
        Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 21 on CPU 28.
        Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled?
        Dazed and confused, but trying to continue
      
      messages and generally messes up perf.
      
      Remove the condition on the increment, double increment balanced
      by a double decrement is perfectly fine.
      
      Restructure the code a little bit to make the unconditional inc
      a bit more natural.
