Paul Mackerras 25346b93ca perf_counter: Provide functions for locking and pinning the context for a task ... This abstracts out the code for locking the context associated with a task. Because the context might get transferred from one task to another concurrently, we have to check after locking the context that it is still the right context for the task and retry if not. This was open-coded in find_get_context() and perf_counter_init_task(). This adds a further function for pinning the context for a task, i.e. marking it so it can't be transferred to another task. This adds a 'pin_count' field to struct perf_counter_context to indicate that a context is pinned, instead of the previous method of setting the parent_gen count to all 1s. Pinning the context with a pin_count is easier to undo and doesn't require saving the parent_gen value. This also adds a perf_unpin_context() to undo the effect of perf_pin_task_context() and changes perf_counter_init_task to use it.
