function.

      Currently we call hrtimer_cancel() unconditionally on disable of time based
software counters. Avoid when possible.

      For the dynamic irq_period code, log whenever we change the period so that
analyzing code can normalize the event flow.

      perf_counter: Solve the rotate_ctx vs inherit race differently · d7b629a3
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      Instead of disabling RR scheduling of the counters, use a different list
that does not get rotated to iterate the counters on inheritance.

      perf_counter, x86: speed up the scheduling fast-path · b68f1d2e
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      We have to set up the LVT entry only at counter init time, not at
every switch-in time.

There's friction between NMI and non-NMI use here - we'll probably
remove the per counter configurability of it - but until then, dont
slow down things ...

      perf_counter: powerpc: initialize cpuhw pointer before use · c0daaf3f
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      Commit 9e35ad38 ("perf_counter: Rework the perf counter
disable/enable") added code to the powerpc hw_perf_enable (renamed
from hw_perf_restore) to test cpuhw->disabled and return immediately
if it is not set (i.e. if the PMU is already enabled).

Unfortunately the test got added before cpuhw was initialized,
resulting in an oops the first time hw_perf_enable got called.
This fixes it by moving the initialization of cpuhw to before
cpuhw->disabled is tested.

      perf_counter, x86: fix zero irq_period counters · d2517a49
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      The quirk to irq_period unearthed an unrobustness we had in the
hw_counter initialization sequence: we left irq_period at 0, which
was then quirked up to 2 ... which then generated a _lot_ of
interrupts during 'perf stat' runs, slowed them down and skewed
the counter results in general.

Initialize irq_period to the maximum instead.

      perf_counter: fix threaded task exit · 0203026b
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      Flushing counters in __exit_signal() with irqs disabled is not
a good idea as perf_counter_exit_task() acquires mutexes. So
flush it before acquiring the tasklist lock.

(Note, we still need a fix for when the PID has been unhashed.)

      perf_counter: Fix counter inheritance · 856d56b9
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      Srivatsa Vaddagiri reported that a Java workload triggers this
warning in kernel/exit.c:

   WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(&tsk->perf_counter_ctx.counter_list));

Add the inherited counter propagation on self-detach, this could
cause counter leaks and incomplete stats in threaded code like
the below:

  #include <pthread.h>
  #include <unistd.h>

  void *thread(void *arg)
  {
          sleep(5);
          return NULL;
  }

  void main(void)
  {
          pthread_t thr;
          pthread_create(&thr, NULL, thread, NULL);
  }

      perf_counter: Fix inheritance cleanup code · 8bc20959
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      Clean up code that open-coded the list_{add,del}_counter() code in
__perf_counter_exit_task() which consequently diverged. This could
lead to software counter crashes.

Also, fold the ctx->nr_counter inc/dec into those functions and clean
up some of the related code.
