From 78cd2c748f459739ff864dd9308c0f6caf7f6e41 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2016 14:08:45 +0100 Subject: perf: Fix orphan hole We should set event->owner before we install the event, otherwise there is a hole where the target task can fork() and we'll not inherit the event because it thinks the event is orphaned.
