Subject: perf: Fix perf_cgroup_switch for sw-events
From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@...llo.nl>
Date: Tue Oct 02 15:41:23 CEST 2012

Jiri reported that he could trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in
perf_cgroup_switch() using sw-events. This is because sw-events share
a cpuctx with multiple PMUs.

Use the ->unique_pmu pointer to limit the pmu iteration to unique
cpuctx instances.
