    perf, arch: Rework perf_event_index() · 35edc2a5
    Peter Zijlstra authored
    Put the logic to compute the event index into a per pmu method. This
    is required because the x86 rules are weird and wonderful and don't
    match the capabilities of the current scheme.
    
    AFAIK only powerpc actually has a usable userspace read of the PMCs
    but I'm not at all sure anybody actually used that.
    
    ARM is restored to the default since it currently does not support
    userspace access at all. And all software events are provided with a
    method that reports their index as 0 (disabled).
