This patch introduces x86 perf scheduler code helper functions. We
need this to later add more complex functionality to support
overlapping counter constraints (next patch).
The algorithm is modified so that the range of weight values is now
generated from the constraints. There shouldn't be other functional
changes.
With the helper functions the scheduler is controlled. There are
functions to initialize, traverse the event list, find unused counters
etc. The scheduler keeps its own state.
V3:
* Added macro for_each_set_bit_cont().
* Changed functions interfaces of perf_sched_find_counter() and
perf_sched_next_event() to use bool as return value.
* Added some comments to make code better understandable.
V4:
* Fix broken event assignment if weight of the first event is not
wmin (perf_sched_init()).

Cure this by keeping a perf_event_context::nr_freq counter that counts the
number of active events that require frequency adjustments and use this in a
similar fashion to the already existing nr_events != nr_active test in
perf_rotate_context().
By being able to exclude both rotation and frequency adjustments a-priory for
the common case we can avoid the otherwise superfluous PMU disable.

When you do:
$ perf record -e cycles,cycles,cycles noploop 10
You expect about 10,000 samples for each event, i.e., 10s at
1000samples/sec. However, this is not what's happening. You
get much fewer samples, maybe 3700 samples/event:
$ perf report -D | tail -15
Aggregated stats:
TOTAL events: 10998
MMAP events: 66
COMM events: 2
SAMPLE events: 10930
cycles stats:
TOTAL events: 3644
SAMPLE events: 3644
cycles stats:
TOTAL events: 3642
SAMPLE events: 3642
cycles stats:
TOTAL events: 3644
SAMPLE events: 3644
On a Intel Nehalem or even AMD64, there are 4 counters capable
of measuring cycles, so there is plenty of space to measure those
events without multiplexing (even with the NMI watchdog active).
And even with multiplexing, we'd expect roughly the same number
of samples per event.
The root of the problem was that when the event that caused the buffer
to become full was not the first event passed on the cmdline, the user
notification would get lost. The notification was sent to the file
descriptor of the overflowed event but the perf tool was not polling
on it. The perf tool aggregates all samples into a single buffer,
i.e., the buffer of the first event. Consequently, it assumes
notifications for any event will come via that descriptor.
The seemingly straight forward solution of moving the waitq into the
ringbuffer object doesn't work because of life-time issues. One could
perf_event_set_output() on a fd that you're also blocking on and cause
the old rb object to be freed while its waitq would still be
referenced by the blocked thread -> FAIL.
Therefore link all events to the ringbuffer and broadcast the wakeup
from the ringbuffer object to all possible events that could be waited
upon. This is rather ugly, and we're open to better solutions but it
works for now.

Nouveau, when configured with debugfs, creates debugfs files for every
channel, so structure holding list of files needs to be protected from
simultaneous changes by multiple threads.
Without this patch it's possible to hit kernel oops in
drm_debugfs_remove_files just by running a couple of xterms with
looped glxinfo.
