From: Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org> stable inclusion from linux-4.19.160 commit c4d54937576e5b9cdedb84e371eedf1f0ba67c0b -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit b0e5a05cc9e37763c7f19366d94b1a6160c755bc ] When execute command "perf lock report", it hits failure and outputs log as follows: perf: builtin-lock.c:623: report_lock_release_event: Assertion `!(seq->read_count < 0)' failed. Aborted This is an imbalance issue. The locking sequence structure "lock_seq_stat" contains the reader counter and it is used to check if the locking sequence is balance or not between acquiring and releasing. If the tool wrongly frees "lock_seq_stat" when "read_count" isn't zero, the "read_count" will be reset to zero when allocate a new structure at the next time; thus it causes the wrong counting for reader and finally results in imbalance issue. To fix this issue, if detects "read_count" is not zero (means still have read user in the locking sequence), goto the "end" tag to skip freeing structure "lock_seq_stat".
