Sure, and sorry, I've not been feeling too well the past few days; I
meant to post something, but I just couldn't find it in me to finish it
let alone make it work.

So the basic issue I mentioned is that:


/*
* ,------------------------[1:n]---------------------.
* V V
* perf_event_context <-[1:n]-> perf_event_pmu_context <--- perf_event
* ^ ^ | |
* `--------[1:n]---------' `-[n:1]-> pmu <-[1:n]-'
*
*
* XXX destroy epc when empty
* refcount, !rcu
*
* XXX epc locking
*
* event->pmu_ctx ctx->mutex && inactive
* ctx->pmu_ctx_list ctx->mutex && ctx->lock
*
*/
struct perf_event_pmu_context {
...
atomic_t refcount; /* event <-> epc */
...
}

But that then also suggests that:

struct perf_event_context {
...
refcount_t refcount;
...
}

should be: ctx <-> epc, and that is not so, the ctx::refcount still
counts the number of events.

Now this might not be bad, but it is confusing.

Anywya; below is what I have, but it is entirely unfinished untested
might eat your ganny etc..
