    perf: Add group scheduling transactional APIs · 6bde9b6c
    Lin Ming 提交于
    Add group scheduling transactional APIs to struct pmu.
    These APIs will be implemented in arch code, based on Peter's idea as
    below.
    
    > the idea behind hw_perf_group_sched_in() is to not perform
    > schedulability tests on each event in the group, but to add the group
    > as a whole and then perform one test.

    ->start_txn:
    Start group events scheduling transaction, set a flag to make
    pmu::enable() not perform the schedulability test, it will be performed
    at commit time.
    
    ->commit_txn:
    Commit group events scheduling transaction, perform the group
    schedulability as a whole
    
    ->cancel_txn:
    Stop group events scheduling transaction, clear the flag so
    pmu::enable() will perform the schedulability test.
