perf_events: Fix for transaction recovery in group_sched_in()
This new version (see commit
8e5fc1a) is much simpler and ensures that
in case of error in group_sched_in() during event_sched_in(), the
events up to the failed event go through regular event_sched_out().
But the failed event and the remaining events in the group have their
timings adjusted as if they had also gone through event_sched_in() and
event_sched_out(). This ensures timing uniformity across all events in
a group. This also takes care of the tstamp_stopped problem in case
the group could never be scheduled. The tstamp_stopped is updated as
if the event had actually run.
With this patch, the following now reports correct time_enabled,
in case the NMI watchdog is active:
$ task -e unhalted_core_cycles,instructions_retired,baclears,baclears
noploop 1
noploop for 1 seconds
0 unhalted_core_cycles (100.00% scaling, ena=997,552,872, run=0)
0 instructions_retired (100.00% scaling, ena=997,552,872, run=0)
0 baclears (100.00% scaling, ena=997,552,872, run=0)
0 baclears (100.00% scaling, ena=997,552,872, run=0)
And the older test case also works:
$ task -einstructions_retired,baclears,baclears -e
unhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears sleep 5
1680885 instructions_retired (69.39% scaling, ena=950756, run=291006)
10735 baclears (69.39% scaling, ena=950756, run=291006)
10735 baclears (69.39% scaling, ena=950756, run=291006)
0 unhalted_core_cycles (100.00% scaling, ena=817932, run=0)
0 baclears (100.00% scaling, ena=817932, run=0)
0 baclears (100.00% scaling, ena=817932, run=0)
