Subject: [PATCH v5 3/4] perf/core: addressing 4x slowdown during per-process
 profiling of STREAM benchmark on Intel Xeon Phi

perf/core: mux switch to skip to the current CPU's events list on mux interrupt

By default, the userspace perf tool opens per-cpu task-bound events
when sampling, so for N logical events requested by the user, the tool
will open N * NR_CPUS events.

In the kernel, we mux events with a hrtimer, periodically rotating the
flexible group list and trying to schedule each group in turn. We skip
groups whose cpu filter doesn't match. So when we get unlucky, we can
walk N * (NR_CPUS - 1) groups pointlessly for each hrtimer invocation.

This has been observed to result in significant overhead when running
the STREAM benchmark on 272 core Xeon Phi systems.

One way to avoid this is to place our events into an rb tree sorted by
CPU filter, so that our hrtimer can skip to the current CPU's
list and ignore everything else.

This patch implements mux switch that triggers skipping to
the current CPU's events list only.

1. added mux switch into:

   ctx_sched_out()
   cpu_ctx_sched_out()
   ctx_sched_in()
   cpu_ctx_sched_in()
   perf_event_sched_in()

2. mux switch is set to 1 at perf_rotate_context() only.
   All the other functions set the switch to 0 prior
   calling the API above.

3. implemented iteration thru cpu group lists by mux switch
   at ctx_sched_in() and ctx_sched_out().

4. updated perf_group_detach() to promote sibling events to
   proper event lists.

5. adjusted the rest of code to adopt changes in API.
