X-Git-Tag: release-20171130_firefly~4^2~100^2~1^2~20^2~88
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f02729f2ab87c84bbc959e7631487a4b84dbdf63;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git

perf/core: Fix event inheritance on fork()

commit e7cc4865f0f31698ef2f7aac01a50e78968985b7 upstream.

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.
