    perf: Introduce hw_perf_event->tp_target and ->tp_list · f22c1bb6
    Oleg Nesterov 提交于
    sys_perf_event_open()->perf_init_event(event) is called before
    find_get_context(event), this means that event->ctx == NULL when
    class->reg(TRACE_REG_PERF_REGISTER/OPEN) is called and thus it
    can't know if this event is per-task or system-wide.
    
    This patch adds hw_perf_event->tp_target for PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT,
    this is analogous to PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT/bp_target we already have.
    The patch also moves ->bp_target up so that it can overlap with the
    new member, this can help the compiler to generate the better code.
    
    trace_uprobe_register() will use it for prefiltering to avoid the
    unnecessary breakpoints in mm's we do not want to trace.
    
    ->tp_target doesn't have its own reference, but we can rely on the
    fact that either sys_perf_event_open() holds a reference, or it is
    equal to event->ctx->task. So this pointer is always valid until
    free_event().
    
    Also add the "struct list_head tp_list" into this union. It is not
    strictly necessary, but it can simplify the next changes and we can
    add it for free.
