Subject: [PATCH 2/2] perf/x86/amd/uncore: Free counter slot by index
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 08:30:15 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921153108.2713179-3-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921153108.2713179-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>

amd_uncore_del() scans ctx->events[] from slot zero and attempts a
compare-exchange until it finds the event.

amd_uncore_add() records the slot it claimed in event->hw.idx. Perf
calls ->del() only after a successful ->add(), and the driver never
moves an installed event between slots. The index therefore remains
valid until deletion.

Use the recorded index directly and retain the compare-exchange
ownership check. Warn if it fails, as that means the driver lost track
of the slot.

Deleting all events from a full PMU with N counters now requires N
compare-exchanges instead of N * (N + 1) / 2.

On a host running a production workload in the Meta fleet, amd_uncore_del()
was called 56,575 times per second from mux rotation.
