perf, tracing, kprobes and jump_labels have a gazillion of ways to create dependency lock chains. Some of those involve nested invocations of get_online_cpus(). The conversion of the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem requires to avoid such nested calls. sys_perf_event_open() protects most of the syscall logic against cpu hotplug. This causes nested calls and lock inversions versus ftrace and kprobes in various interesting ways. It's impossible to move the hotplug locking to the outer end of all call chains in the involved facilities, so the hotplug protection in sys_perf_event_open() needs to be solved differently. Introduce 'pmus_mutex' which protects a perf private online cpumask. This mutex is taken when the mask is updated in the cpu hotplug callbacks and can be taken in sys_perf_event_open() to protect the swhash setup/teardown code and when the final judgement about a valid event has to be made.

README
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.
