[PATCH] perf: Store relevant events in a hlist

[Frederic Weisbecker]

When a software/tracepoint event triggers, we walk through the
entire current cpu and task context's events lists to retrieve
those that are concerned.

This is wasteful. This patch proposes a hashlist to walk through
the relevant events only. The hash is calculated using the id of
the event (could be further optimized using the type of the event
too). Each hash map a list of distinct type:id that match the hash.
To these type:id nodes, we affect a list of the active events
matching the type:id.

-----------------------
Hash 1 | Hash 2 | ....
----------------------
  |
 swevent type:id node
  |       |
  |       ------- event 1 ---- event 2 ---- ....
  |
 swevent type:id node
          |
          --------[...]

The hashlist is per cpu (attached to perf_cpu_context) and the
events in the lists gather those that are active in the cpu and
task context. No more per events checks are needed to guess if
the events are "counting" or "matching".
