Each time a software event triggers, we need to walk through the entire list of events from the current cpu and task contexts to retrieve a running perf event that matches. We also need to check a matching perf event is actually counting. This walk is wasteful and makes the event fast path scaling down with a growing number of events running on the same contexts. To solve this, we store the running perf events in a hashlist to get an immediate access to them against their type:event_id when they trigger. v2: - Fix SWEVENT_HLIST_SIZE definition (and re-learn some basic maths along the way) - Only allocate hlist for online cpus, but keep track of the refcount on offline possible cpus too, so that we allocate it if needed when it becomes online. - Drop the kref use as it's not adapted to our tricks anymore. v3: - Fix bad refcount check (address instead of value). Thanks to Eric Dumazet who spotted this. - While exiting cpu, move the hlist release out of the IPI path to lock the hlist mutex sanely.
