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. > > Of course, when that test fails, you'll have to roll-back the whole > group again. > > So start_txn (or a better name) would simply toggle a flag in the pmu > implementation that will make pmu::enable() not perform the > schedulablilty test. > > Then commit_txn() will perform the schedulability test (so note the > method has to have a !void return value. > > This will allow us to use the regular > kernel/perf_event.c::group_sched_in() and all the rollback code. > Currently each hw_perf_group_sched_in() implementation duplicates all > the rolllback code (with various bugs). ->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.
