    perf: Allow storage of PMU private data in event · 54d751d4
    Thomas Gleixner authored
    For PMUs which are not per CPU, but e.g. per package/socket, we want to be
    able to store a reference to the underlying per package/socket facility in the
    event at init time so we can avoid magic storage constructs in the PMU driver.
    
    This allows us to get rid of the per CPU dance in the intel uncore and RAPL
    drivers and avoids a lookup of the per package data in the perf hotpath.
