    perf/x86/intel: Rework the large PEBS setup code · 09e61b4f
    Peter Zijlstra 提交于
    In order to allow optimizing perf_pmu_sched_task() we must ensure
    perf_sched_cb_{inc,dec}() are no longer called from NMI context; this
    means that pmu::{start,stop}() can no longer use them.
    
    Prepare for this by reworking the whole large PEBS setup code.
    
    The current code relied on the cpuc->pebs_enabled state, however since
    that reflects the current active state as per pmu::{start,stop}() we
    can no longer rely on this.
    
    Introduce two counters: cpuc->n_pebs and cpuc->n_large_pebs which
    count the total number of PEBS events and the number of PEBS events
    that have FREERUNNING set, resp.. With this we can tell if the current
    setup requires a single record interrupt threshold or can use a larger
    buffer.
    
    This also improves the code in that it re-enables the large threshold
    once the PEBS event that required single record gets removed.
