Subject: perf counters: protect them against CSTATE transitions
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4ac13294e44664bb7edf4daf52edb71e7c6bbe84;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

perf counters: protect them against CSTATE transitions

Impact: fix rare lost events problem

There are CPUs whose performance counters misbehave on CSTATE transitions,
so provide a way to just disable/enable them around deep idle methods.

(hw_perf_enable_all() is cheap on x86.)
