    perf/core: Fix event inheritance on fork() · e7cc4865
    Peter Zijlstra authored
    While hunting for clues to a use-after-free, Oleg spotted that
    perf_event_init_context() can loose an error value with the result
    that fork() can succeed even though we did not fully inherit the perf
    event context.
