The LBR call stack data has to be saved/restored during context switch to fix the shorter LBRs call stacks issue in the system-wide mode. Allocate PMU specific data and attach them to the corresponding task_struct during LBR call stack monitoring. When a LBR call stack event is accounted, the perf_ctx_data for the related tasks will be allocated/attached by attach_perf_ctx_data(). When a LBR call stack event is unaccounted, the perf_ctx_data for related tasks will be detached/freed by detach_perf_ctx_data(). The LBR call stack event could be a per-task event or a system-wide event. - For a per-task event, perf only allocates the perf_ctx_data for the current task. If the allocation fails, perf will error out. - For a system-wide event, perf has to allocate the perf_ctx_data for both the existing tasks and the upcoming tasks. The allocation for the existing tasks is done in perf_event_alloc(). If any allocation fails, perf will error out. The allocation for the new tasks will be done in perf_event_fork(). A global reader/writer semaphore, global_ctx_data_rwsem, is added to address the global race. - The perf_ctx_data only be freed by the last LBR call stack event. The number of the per-task events is tracked by refcount of each task. Since the system-wide events impact all tasks, it's not practical to go through the whole task list to update the refcount for each system-wide event. The number of system-wide events is tracked by a global variable global_ctx_data_ref.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
