    perf: Per cpu-context rotation timer · b5ab4cd5
    Peter Zijlstra authored
    Give each cpu-context its own timer so that it is a self contained
    entity, this eases the way for per-pmu-per-cpu contexts as well as
    provides the basic infrastructure to allow different rotation
    times per pmu.
    
    Things to look at:
     - folding the tick and these TICK_NSEC timers
     - separate task context rotation
