perf core: Fix perf_proc_update_handler() bug
The perf_proc_update_handler() handles /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
syctl variable. When the PMU IRQ handler timing monitoring is disabled, i.e,
when /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent is equal to 0 or 100,
then no modification to sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate is allowed to prevent
possible hang from wrong values.
The problem is that the test to prevent modification is made after the
sysctl variable is modified in perf_proc_update_handler().
You get an error:
$ echo 10001 >/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
echo: write error: invalid argument
But the value is still modified causing all sorts of inconsistencies:
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
10001
This patch fixes the problem by moving the parsing of the value after
the test.
Committer testing:
# echo 100 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent
# echo 10001 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
10001
