perf: Fix exit() vs PERF_FORMAT_GROUP
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Both Stephane and Corey reported that PERF_FORMAT_GROUP didn't
work as expected if the task the counters were attached to quit
before the read() call.

The cause is that we unconditionally destroy the grouping when
we remove counters from their context. Fix this by splitting off
the group destroy from the list removal such that
perf_event_remove_from_context() does not do this and change
perf_event_release() to do so.
