perf/core: Add a 'flags' parameter to the PMU transactional interfaces
jira LE-1907 Rebuild_History Non-Buildable kernel-3.10.0-514.el7 commit-author Sukadev Bhattiprolu <[email protected]> commit fbbe070 Empty-Commit: Cherry-Pick Conflicts during history rebuild. Will be included in final tarball splat. Ref for failed cherry-pick at: ciq/ciq_backports/kernel-3.10.0-514.el7/fbbe0701.failed Currently, the PMU interface allows reading only one counter at a time. But some PMUs like the 24x7 counters in Power, support reading several counters at once. To leveage this functionality, extend the transaction interface to support a "transaction type". The first type, PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD, refers to the existing transactions, i.e. used to _schedule_ all the events on the PMU as a group. A second transaction type, PERF_PMU_TXN_READ, will be used in a follow-on patch, by the 24x7 counters to read several counters at once. Extend the transaction interfaces to the PMU to accept a 'txn_flags' parameter and use this parameter to ignore any transactions that are not of type PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for his input.
