The perf_event_aux() function iterates all PMUs and all events in their respective per-CPU contexts to find the events to deliver side-band records to. For example, the brk test case in lkp triggers many mmap() operations, which, if we're also running perf, results in many perf_event_aux() invocations. If we enable uncore PMU support (even when uncore events are not used), dozens of uncore PMUs will be iterated, which can significantly decrease brk_test's throughput. For example, the brk throughput: without uncore PMUs: 2647573 ops_per_sec with uncore PMUs: 1768444 ops_per_sec ... a 33% reduction. To get at the per-CPU events that need side-band records, this patch puts these events on a per-CPU list, this avoids iterating the PMUs and any events that do not need side-band records. Per task events are unchanged to avoid extra overhead on the context switch paths.
