[PATCH 0/2] perf, bts: Make BTS exclusive again

[Alexander Shishkin]

Hi Peter,

While looking at something else I noticed that the exclusive event
filter only allows one such event per context, whereas it should allow
one such event from each PMU that has PERF_PMU_CAP_EXCLUSIVE. At the
same time, intel_bts PMU doesn't even have this capability set (which
is why on systems that allow coexistance of PT and BTS it still works,
see ccbebba4c6 for more context).

[PATCH 1/2] perf/x86/intel/bts: Make it an exclusive PMU

[Alexander Shishkin]

Just like intel_pt, intel_bts can only handle one event at a time,
which is the reason we introduced PERF_PMU_CAP_EXCLUSIVE in the first
place. However, at the moment one can have as many intel_bts events
within the same context at the same time as one pleases. Only one of
them, however, will get scheduled and receive the actual trace data.

Fix this by making intel_bts an "exclusive" PMU.

[PATCH 2/2] perf: Limit matching exclusive events to one PMU

[Alexander Shishkin]

An "exclusive" PMU is the one that can only have one event scheduled in
at any given time. There may be more than one of such PMUs in a system,
though, like Intel PT and BTS. It should be allowed to have one event
for either of those inside the same context (there may be other constraints
that may prevent this, but those would be hardware-specific). However,
the exclusivity code is written so that only one event from any of the
"exclusive" PMUs is allowed in a context.

Fix this by making the exclusive event filter explicitly match two events'
PMUs.
