Peter Zijlstra 7c9903c9bf x86/perf, static_call: Optimize x86_pmu methods
Replace many of the indirect calls with static_call().

The average PMI time, as measured by perf_sample_event_took()*:

  PRE:    3283.03 [ns]
  POST:   3145.12 [ns]

Which is a ~138 [ns] win per PMI, or a ~4.2% decrease.

[*] on an IVB-EP, using: 'perf record -a -e cycles -- make O=defconfig-build/ -j80'

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.
