perf: Store active software events in a hashlist
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.
