An example is below. //max_samples_per_tick is adjusted to 2 //NMI is triggered intel_pmu_handle_irq() handle_pmi_common() drain_pebs() __intel_pmu_pebs_event() perf_event_overflow() __perf_event_account_interrupt() hwc->interrupts = 1 return 0 //A context switch happens right after the NMI. //In the same tick, the perf_throttled_seq is not changed. perf_event_task_sched_out() perf_pmu_sched_task() intel_pmu_drain_pebs_buffer() __intel_pmu_pebs_event() perf_event_overflow() __perf_event_account_interrupt() ++hwc->interrupts >= max_samples_per_tick return 1 x86_pmu_stop(); # First stop perf_event_context_sched_out() task_ctx_sched_out() ctx_sched_out() event_sched_out() x86_pmu_del() x86_pmu_stop(); # Second stop and trigger the warning Perf should only invoke the perf_event_overflow() in the overflow context. Current drain_pebs() is called from: - handle_pmi_common() -- overflow context - intel_pmu_pebs_sched_task() -- non-overflow context - intel_pmu_pebs_disable() -- non-overflow context - intel_pmu_auto_reload_read() -- possible overflow context With PERF_SAMPLE_READ + PERF_FORMAT_GROUP, the function may be invoked in the NMI handler. But, before calling the function, the PEBS buffer has already been drained. The __intel_pmu_pebs_event() will not be called in the possible overflow context. To fix the issue, an indicator is required to distinguish between the overflow context aka handle_pmi_common() and other cases. The dummy regs pointer can be used as the indicator. In the non-overflow context, perf should treat the last record the same as other PEBS records, and doesn't invoke the generic overflow handler.
