Robert Bragg 3bb335c1e7 drm/i915/perf: no head/tail ref in gen7_oa_read
This avoids redundantly passing an (inout) head and tail pointer to
gen7_append_oa_reports() from gen7_oa_read which doesn't need to
reference either itself.

Moving the head/tail reads and writes into gen7_append_oa_reports should
have no functional effect except to avoid some redundant head pointer
writes in cases where nothing was copied to userspace.

This is a stepping stone towards updating how the head and tail pointer
state is managed to improve the workaround for the OA unit's tail
pointer race. It reduces the number of places we need to read/write the
head and tail pointers.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
