The CPU hotplug handlers are called twice: at prepare and online stage. Their role is to: 1) Enable/disable a CPU context. This is irrelevant and even buggy at the prepare stage because the CPU is still offline. On early secondary CPU up, creating an event attached to that CPU might silently fail because the CPU context is observed as online but the context installation's IPI failure is ignored. 2) Update the scope cpumasks and re-migrate the events accordingly in the CPU down case. This is irrelevant at the prepare stage. 3) Remove the events attached to the context of the offlining CPU. It even uses an (unnecessary) IPI for it. This is also irrelevant at the prepare stage. Also none of the *_PREPARE and *_STARTING architecture perf related CPU hotplug callbacks rely on CPUHP_PERF_PREPARE. CPUHP_AP_PERF_ONLINE is enough and the right place to perform the work.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
