    perf: Migrate perf to use new tick dependency mask model · 555e0c1e
    Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
    Instead of providing asynchronous checks for the nohz subsystem to verify
    perf event tick dependency, migrate perf to the new mask.
    
    Perf needs the tick for two situations:
    
    1) Freq events. We could set the tick dependency when those are
    installed on a CPU context. But setting a global dependency on top of
    the global freq events accounting is much easier. If people want that
    to be optimized, we can still refine that on the per-CPU tick dependency
    level. This patch dooesn't change the current behaviour anyway.
    
    2) Throttled events: this is a per-cpu dependency.
