After the commit '
d971342d38bf ("perf/x86/intel: Decouple BTS
initialization from PEBS initialization")' is introduced, x86_pmu.bts
would initialized in bts_init() which is hooked by arch_initcall().
Whereas init_hw_perf_events() is hooked by early_initcall(). Once the
core PMU is initialized, nmi watchdog initialization is called
immediately before bts_init() is called. It leads to the BTS buffer is
not really initialized since bts_init() is not called and x86_pmu.bts is
still false at that time. Worse, BTS buffer would never be initialized
then unless all core PMU events are freed and reserve_ds_buffers()
is called again.
Thus aligning with init_hw_perf_events(), use early_initcall() to hook
bts_init() to ensure x86_pmu.bts is initialized before nmi watchdog
initialization.
