perf: Decouple unthrottling and rotating
Currently the adjusments made as part of perf_event_task_tick() use the
percpu rotation lists to iterate over any active PMU contexts, but these
are not used by the context rotation code, having been replaced by
separate (per-context) hrtimer callbacks. However, some manipulation of
the rotation lists (i.e. removal of contexts) has remained in
perf_rotate_context(). This leads to the following issues:
* Contexts are not always removed from the rotation lists. Removal of
PMUs which have been placed in rotation lists, but have not been
removed by a hrtimer callback can result in corruption of the rotation
lists (when memory backing the context is freed).
This has been observed to result in hangs when PMU drivers built as
modules are inserted and removed around the creation of events for
said PMUs.
* Contexts which do not require rotation may be removed from the
rotation lists as a result of a hrtimer, and will not be considered by
the unthrottling code in perf_event_task_tick.
This patch fixes the issue by updating the rotation ist when events are
scheduled in/out, ensuring that each rotation list stays in sync with
the HW state. As each event holds a refcount on the module of its PMU,
this ensures that when a PMU module is unloaded none of its CPU contexts
can be in a rotation list. By maintaining a list of perf_event_contexts
rather than perf_event_cpu_contexts, we don't need separate paths to
handle the cpu and task contexts, which also makes the code a little
simpler.
As the rotation_list variables are not used for rotation, these are
renamed to active_ctx_list, which better matches their current function.
perf_pmu_rotate_{start,stop} are renamed to
perf_pmu_ctx_{activate,deactivate}.
