commit 602cae04c4864bb3487dfe4c2126c8d9e7e1614a upstream.
intel_pmu_cpu_prepare() allocated memory for ->shared_regs among other
members of struct cpu_hw_events. This memory is released in
intel_pmu_cpu_dying() which is wrong. The counterpart of the
intel_pmu_cpu_prepare() callback is x86_pmu_dead_cpu().
Otherwise if the CPU fails on the UP path between CPUHP_PERF_X86_PREPARE
and CPUHP_AP_PERF_X86_STARTING then it won't release the memory but
allocate new memory on the next attempt to online the CPU (leaking the
old memory).
Also, if the CPU down path fails between CPUHP_AP_PERF_X86_STARTING and
CPUHP_PERF_X86_PREPARE then the CPU will go back online but never
allocate the memory that was released in x86_pmu_dying_cpu().
Make the memory allocation/free symmetrical in regard to the CPU hotplug
notifier by moving the deallocation to intel_pmu_cpu_dead().
This started in commit:
a7e3ed1e47011 ("perf: Add support for supplementary event registers").
In principle the bug was introduced in v2.6.39 (!), but it will almost
certainly not backport cleanly across the big CPU hotplug rewrite between v4.7-v4.15...

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
