perf: Rework the PMU methods
Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument. The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with the generic stopped state. This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain code paths (like IRQ handlers). It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters). The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on how the architecture implemented the throttled state: 1) We disable the counter: a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state 2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: paulus <paulus@samba.org> Cc: stephane eranian <eranian@googlemail.com> Cc: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Cc: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Cc: Yanmin <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Deng-Cheng Zhu <dengcheng.zhu@gmail.com> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Michael Cree <mcree@orcon.net.nz> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
