      perf: Remove deprecated WARN_ON_ONCE() · 84f2b9b2
      Stephane Eranian authored
      With the new throttling/unthrottling code introduced with
      commit:
      
        e050e3f0 ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling")
      
      we occasionally hit two WARN_ON_ONCE() checks in:
      
        - intel_pmu_pebs_enable()
        - intel_pmu_lbr_enable()
        - x86_pmu_start()
      
      The assertions are no longer problematic. There is a valid
      path where they can trigger but it is harmless.
      
      The assertion can be triggered with:
      
        $ perf record -e instructions:pp ....
      
      Leading to paths:
      
        intel_pmu_pebs_enable
        intel_pmu_enable_event
        x86_perf_event_set_period
        x86_pmu_start
        perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context
        perf_event_task_tick
        scheduler_tick
      
      And:
      
        intel_pmu_lbr_enable
        intel_pmu_enable_event
        x86_perf_event_set_period
        x86_pmu_start
        perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.
        perf_event_task_tick
        scheduler_tick
      
      cpuc->enabled is always on because when we get to
      perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context() the PMU is not totally
      disabled. Furthermore when we need to adjust a period,
      we only stop the event we need to change and not the
      entire PMU. Thus, when we re-enable, cpuc->enabled is
      already set. Note that when we stop the event, both
      pebs and lbr are stopped if necessary (and possible).
