Lockdep noticed the following 3-way lockup scenario: sys_perf_event_open() perf_event_alloc() perf_try_init_event() #0 ctx = perf_event_ctx_lock_nested(1) perf_swevent_init() swevent_hlist_get() #1 mutex_lock(&pmus_lock) perf_event_init_cpu() #1 mutex_lock(&pmus_lock) #2 mutex_lock(&ctx->mutex) sys_perf_event_open() mutex_lock_double() #2 mutex_lock() #0 mutex_lock_nested() And while we need that perf_event_ctx_lock_nested() for HW PMUs such that they can iterate the sibling list, trying to match it to the available counters, the software PMUs need do no such thing. Exclude them. In particular the swevent triggers the above invertion, while the tpevent PMU triggers a more elaborate one through their event_mutex.
