Kan Liang 82ad50c112 perf/core: Flush PMU internal buffers for per-CPU events
[ Upstream commit a5398bffc01fe044848c5024e5e867e407f239b8 ]

Sometimes the PMU internal buffers have to be flushed for per-CPU events
during a context switch, e.g., large PEBS. Otherwise, the perf tool may
report samples in locations that do not belong to the process where the
samples are processed in, because PEBS does not tag samples with PID/TID.

The current code only flush the buffers for a per-task event. It doesn't
check a per-CPU event.

Add a new event state flag, PERF_ATTACH_SCHED_CB, to indicate that the
PMU internal buffers have to be flushed for this event during a context
switch.

Add sched_cb_entry and perf_sched_cb_usages back to track the PMU/cpuctx
which is required to be flushed.

Only need to invoke the sched_task() for per-CPU events in this patch.
The per-task events have been handled in perf_event_context_sched_in/out
already.

README

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
