commit 3966c3fe upstream. Spurious interrupt support was added to perf in the following commit, almost a decade ago: 63e6be6d ("perf, x86: Catch spurious interrupts after disabling counters") The two previous patches (resolving the race condition when disabling a PMC and NMI latency mitigation) allow for the removal of this older spurious interrupt support. Currently in x86_pmu_stop(), the bit for the PMC in the active_mask bitmap is cleared before disabling the PMC, which sets up a race condition. This race condition was mitigated by introducing the running bitmap. That race condition can be eliminated by first disabling the PMC, waiting for PMC reset on overflow and then clearing the bit for the PMC in the active_mask bitmap. The NMI handler will not re-enable a disabled counter. If x86_pmu_stop() is called from the perf NMI handler, the NMI latency mitigation support will guard against any unhandled NMI messages.
