Subject: [PATCH v8 0/2] perf/core: addressing 4x slowdown during per-process
 profiling of STREAM benchmark on Intel Xeon Phi

Hi,

This patch set v8 addresses feedback captured on review of v7. For more 
background details please refer to v7 and earlier.

Specifically in this version mux switch is renamed to rotation switch 
and the value of rotation switch may be the one of defined by 
ROTATION_DISABLED or ROTATION_ENABLED macros.

ctx->rotate_disable bool flag is renamed to ctx->rotation and also employs
ROTATION_DISABLE and ROTATION_ENABLED macros.

pinned_group_sched_in() and flexible_group_sched_in() API are introduced 
to consolidate code enabling a whole group from pinned and flexible 
groups appropriately.

Patches in the set are expected to be applied one after another in 
the mentioned order and they are logically split into two parts 
to simplify the review process.

The patch set was successfully tested over a night using perf_fuzzer tool.

Thanks,
Alexey
