perf_events, x86: Improve x86 event scheduling
This patch improves event scheduling by maximizing the use of PMU
registers regardless of the order in which events are created in a group.
The algorithm takes into account the list of counter constraints for each
event. It assigns events to counters from the most constrained, i.e.,
works on only one counter, to the least constrained, i.e., works on any
counter.
Intel Fixed counter events and the BTS special event are also handled via
this algorithm which is designed to be fairly generic.
The patch also updates the validation of an event to use the scheduling
algorithm. This will cause early failure in perf_event_open().
The 2nd version of this patch follows the model used by PPC, by running
the scheduling algorithm and the actual assignment separately. Actual
assignment takes place in hw_perf_enable() whereas scheduling is
implemented in hw_perf_group_sched_in() and x86_pmu_enable().
