The issue may be caused by uncore box initialization.

For preventing the potential issues of uncore box initialization, I once
moved the uncore_box_init() out of driver initialization in commit
c05199e5a57a579fea1e8fa65e2b511ceb524ffc.

However, it cause some desktop crash, because the box initialization
codes were moved in IPI context.
 
For fixing the crash issue, we had two choice at that time.
 - Simply revert the codes. That's where is
15c1247953e8a45232ed5a5540f291d2d0a77665 from.
 - Move uncore_box_init out of IPI context to uncore event
   init. I provided a patch for it. https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/28/21
  Stephane Eranian also verified it on his platform

At that time, we chose first option. But it looks there is some
issue now. I guess we may try the second option this time.

Matthew,

Could you please revert
15c1247953e8a45232ed5a5540f291d2d0a77665
and apply the patch https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/26/294?
See if it works?


Thanks,
Kan
