s/PERFMON/perfcounters for perfcounter interrupt throttling warning. 'perfmon' is the CPU feature name that is Intel-only, while we do throttling in a generic way.

Allow recording the CPU number the event was generated on. RFC: this leaves a u32 as reserved, should we fill in the node_id() there, or leave this open for future extention, as userspace can already easily do the cpu->node mapping if needed.

Corey noticed that ioctl()s on grouped counters didn't work on the whole group. This extends the ioctl() interface to take a second argument that is interpreted as a flags field. We then provide PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP to toggle the behaviour. Having this flag gives the greatest flexibility, allowing you to individually enable/disable/reset counters in a group, or all together.

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.

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.

When two (or more) contexts output to the same buffer, it is possible to observe half written output. Suppose we have CPU0 doing perf_counter_mmap(), CPU1 doing perf_counter_overflow().
