4ec8363dfc perf_events: Fix perf buffer watermark setting
Since 2.6.36 (specifically commit d57e34fdd6 ("perf: Simplify the
ring-buffer logic: make perf_buffer_alloc() do everything needed"),
the perf_buffer_init_code() has been mis-setting the buffer watermark
if perf_event_attr.wakeup_events has a non-zero value.

This is because perf_event_attr.wakeup_events is a union with
perf_event_attr.wakeup_watermark.

This commit re-enables the check for perf_event_attr.watermark being
set before continuing with setting a non-default watermark.

This bug is most noticable when you are trying to use PERF_IOC_REFRESH
with a value larger than one and perf_event_attr.wakeup_events is set to
one.  In this case the buffer watermark will be set to 1 and you will
get extraneous POLL_IN overflows rather than POLL_HUP as expected.

[ avoid using attr.wakeup_events when attr.watermark is set ]

b58f6b0dd3 perf, core: Fix initial task_ctx/event installation
A lost Quilt refresh of 2c29ef0fef (perf: Simplify and fix
__perf_install_in_context()) is causing grief and lockups,
reported by Jiri Olsa.

When installing an event in a task context, there's a number of
issues:

 - there might not be an existing task context, in which case
   we should install the now current context;

 - there might already be a context, not the current one, in
   which case we should de-schedule the old and install the new;

these cases were dealt with in the lost refresh, however there is one
further case that was found in testing:

 - there might already be a context, the current one, in which
   case we should still de-schedule, and should take care
   to re-install it (note that task_ctx_sched_out() clears
   cpuctx->task_ctx).

64ce312618 perf: De-schedule a task context when removing the last event
Since perf_install_in_context() will now install a context when we
add the first event, we can de-schedule the context when the last

e03a9a55b4 perf: Change close() semantics for group events
In order to always call list_del_event() on the correct cpu if the
event is part of an active context and avoid having to do two IPIs,
change the close() semantics slightly.

The current perf_event_disable() call would disable a whole group if
the event that's being closed is the group leader, whereas the new
code keeps the group siblings enabled.

People should not rely on this behaviour and I don't think they do,
but in case we find they do, the fix is easy and we have to take the
double IPI cost.

db24d33e08 perf: Change and simplify ctx::is_active semantics
Instead of tracking if a context is active or not, track which events
of the context are active. By making it a bitmask of
EVENT_PINNED|EVENT_FLEXIBLE we can simplify some of the scheduling
routines since it can avoid adding events that are already active.

2c29ef0fef perf: Simplify and fix __perf_install_in_context()
Currently __perf_install_in_context() will try and schedule in the
event irrespective of our event scheduling rules, that is, we try to
schedule CPU-pinned, TASK-pinned, CPU-flexible, TASK-flexible, but
when creating a new event we simply try and schedule it on top of
whatever is already on the PMU, this can lead to errors for pinned
events.

Therefore, simplify things and simply schedule everything out, add the
event to the corresponding context and schedule everything back in.

This also nicely handles the case where with
__ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW the IPI can come right in the middle
of schedule, before we managed to call perf_event_task_sched_in().

04dc2dbbfe perf: Remove task_ctx_sched_in()
Make task_ctx_sched_*() imply EVENT_ALL, since anything less will not
actually have scheduled the task in/out at all.

Since there's no site that schedules all of a task in (due to the
interleave with flexible cpuctx) we can remove this function.

facc43071c perf: Optimize event scheduling locking
Currently we only hold one ctx->lock at a time, which results in us
flipping back and forth between cpuctx->ctx.lock and task_ctx->lock.

Avoid this and gain large atomic regions by holding both locks. We
nest the task lock inside the cpu lock, since with task scheduling we
might have to change task ctx while holding the cpu ctx lock.
