    perf_counter: minimize context time updates · bce379bf
    Peter Zijlstra authored
    Push the update_context_time() calls up the stack so that we get less
    invokations and thereby a less noisy output:
    
    before:
    
     # ./perfstat -e 1:0 -e 1:1 -e 1:1 -e 1:1 -l ls > /dev/null
    
     Performance counter stats for 'ls':
    
          10.163691  cpu clock ticks      (msecs)  (scaled from 98.94%)
          10.215360  task clock ticks     (msecs)  (scaled from 98.18%)
          10.185549  task clock ticks     (msecs)  (scaled from 98.53%)
          10.183581  task clock ticks     (msecs)  (scaled from 98.71%)
    
     Wall-clock time elapsed:    11.912858 msecs
    
    after:
    
     # ./perfstat -e 1:0 -e 1:1 -e 1:1 -e 1:1 -l ls > /dev/null
    
     Performance counter stats for 'ls':
    
           9.316630  cpu clock ticks      (msecs)
           9.280789  task clock ticks     (msecs)
           9.280789  task clock ticks     (msecs)
           9.280789  task clock ticks     (msecs)
    
     Wall-clock time elapsed:     9.574872 msecs
