[PATCH 1/3] perf/core: Update perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context()

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Mon Nov 20 2023 - 17:19:43 EST


It was unnecessarily disabling and enabling PMUs for each event. It
should be done at PMU level. Add pmu_ctx->nr_freq counter to check it
at each PMU. As pmu context has separate active lists for pinned group
and flexible group, factor out a new function to do the job.

Another minor optimization is that it can skip PMUs w/ CAP_NO_INTERRUPT
even if it needs to unthrottle sampling events.
