perf/core: fix userpage->time_enabled of inactive events
Users of rdpmc rely on the mmapped user page to calculate accurate time_enabled. Currently, userpage->time_enabled is only updated when the event is added to the pmu. As a result, inactive event (due to counter multiplexing) does not have accurate userpage->time_enabled. This can be reproduced with something like: /* open 20 task perf_event "cycles", to create multiplexing */ fd = perf_event_open(); /* open task perf_event "cycles" */ userpage = mmap(fd); /* use mmap and rdmpc */ while (true) { time_enabled_mmap = xxx; /* use logic in perf_event_mmap_page */ time_enabled_read = read(fd).time_enabled; if (time_enabled_mmap > time_enabled_read) BUG(); } Fix this by updating userpage for inactive events in merge_sched_in.
