      perf_counter: fix fixed-purpose counter support on v2 Intel-PERFMON · 066d7dea
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      Fixed-purpose counters stopped working in a simple 'perf stat ls' run:

   <not counted>  cache references
   <not counted>  cache misses

Due to:

  ef7b3e09: perf_counter, x86: remove vendor check in fixed_mode_idx()

Which made x86_pmu.num_counters_fixed matter: if it's nonzero, the
fixed-purpose counters are utilized.

But on v2 perfmon this field is not set (despite there being
fixed-purpose PMCs). So add a quirk to set the number of fixed-purpose
counters to at least three.

[ Impact: add quirk for three fixed-purpose counters on certain Intel CPUs ]

      perf_counter: convert perf_resource_mutex to a spinlock · 1dce8d99
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      Now percpu counters can be initialized very early. But the init
sequence uses mutex_lock(). Fortunately, perf_resource_mutex should
be a spinlock anyway, so convert it.

[ Impact: fix crash due to early init mutex use ]

      perf_counter: initialize the per-cpu context earlier · 0d905bca
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      percpu scheduling for perfcounters wants to take the context lock,
but that lock first needs to be initialized. Currently it is an
early_initcall() - but that is too late, the task tick runs much
sooner than that.

Call it explicitly from the scheduler init sequence instead.

[ Impact: fix access-before-init crash ]

      perf_counter: x86: fixup nmi_watchdog vs perf_counter boo-boo · ba77813a
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      Invert the atomic_inc_not_zero() test so that we will indeed detect the
first activation.

Also rename the global num_counters, since its easy to confuse with
x86_pmu.num_counters.

      perf_counter: round-robin per-CPU counters too · b82914ce
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      This used to be unstable when we had the rq->lock dependencies,
but now that they are that of the past we can turn on percpu
counter RR too.

[ Impact: handle counter over-commit for per-CPU counters too ]
