Because group consistency is non-atomic between parent (filedesc) and children
(inherited) events, it is possible for PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read() to try and sum
non-matching counter groups -- with non-sensical results.

Add group_generation to distinguish the case where a parent group removes and
adds an event and thus has the same number, but a different configuration of
events as inherited groups.

This became a problem when commit fa8c269353d5 ("perf/core: Invert
perf_read_group() loops") flipped the order of child_list and sibling_list.
Previously it would iterate the group (sibling_list) first, and for each
sibling traverse the child_list. In this order, only the group composition of
the parent is relevant. By flipping the order the group composition of the
child (inherited) events becomes an issue and the mis-match in group
composition becomes evident.

That said; even prior to this commit, while reading of a group that is not
equally inherited was not broken, it still made no sense.

(Ab)use ECHILD as error return to indicate issues with child process group
composition.

Namhyung reported that bd2756811766 ("perf: Rewrite core context handling")
regresses context switch overhead when perf-cgroup is in use together
with 'slow' PMUs like uncore.

Specifically, perf_cgroup_switch()'s perf_ctx_disable() /
ctx_sched_out() etc.. all iterate the full list of active PMUs for
that CPU, even if they don't have cgroup events.

Previously there was cgrp_cpuctx_list which linked the relevant PMUs
together, but that got lost in the rework. Instead of re-instruducing
a similar list, let the perf_event_pmu_context iteration skip those
that do not have cgroup events. This avoids growing multiple versions
of the perf_event_pmu_context iteration.

Measured performance (on a slightly different patch):

Before)

  $ taskset -c 0 ./perf bench sched pipe -l 10000 -G AAA,BBB
  # Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
  # Executed 10000 pipe operations between two processes

       Total time: 0.901 [sec]

        90.128700 usecs/op
            11095 ops/sec

After)

  $ taskset -c 0 ./perf bench sched pipe -l 10000 -G AAA,BBB
  # Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
  # Executed 10000 pipe operations between two processes

       Total time: 0.065 [sec]

Per-package perf events are typically registered with a single CPU only,
however they can be read across all the CPUs within the package.
Currently perf_event_read maps the event CPU according to the topology
information to avoid an unnecessary SMP call, however
perf_event_read_local deals with hard values and rejects a read with a
failure if the CPU is not the one exactly registered. Allow similar
mapping within the perf_event_read_local if the perf event in question
can support this.

This allows users like BPF code to read the package perf events properly
across different CPUs within a package.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Some swap cleanups from Ma Wupeng ("fix WARN_ON in
   add_to_avail_list")

 - Peter Xu has a series (mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, speed up thp") which
   reduces the special-case code for handling hugetlb pages in GUP. It
   also speeds up GUP handling of transparent hugepages.

 - Peng Zhang provides some maple tree speedups ("Optimize the fast path
   of mas_store()").

 - Sergey Senozhatsky has improved te performance of zsmalloc during
   compaction (zsmalloc: small compaction improvements").

 - Domenico Cerasuolo has developed additional selftest code for zswap
   ("selftests: cgroup: add zswap test program").

 - xu xin has doe some work on KSM's handling of zero pages. These
   changes are mainly to enable the user to better understand the
   effectiveness of KSM's treatment of zero pages ("ksm: support
   tracking KSM-placed zero-pages").

 - Jeff Xu has fixes the behaviour of memfd's
   MEMFD_NOEXEC_SCOPE_NOEXEC_ENFORCED sysctl ("mm/memfd: fix sysctl
   MEMFD_NOEXEC_SCOPE_NOEXEC_ENFORCED").

 - David Howells has fixed an fscache optimization ("mm, netfs, fscache:
   Stop read optimisation when folio removed from pagecache").

 - Axel Rasmussen has given userfaultfd the ability to simulate memory
   poisoning ("add UFFDIO_POISON to simulate memory poisoning with
   UFFD").

 - Miaohe Lin has contributed some routine maintenance work on the
   memory-failure code ("mm: memory-failure: remove unneeded PageHuge()
   check").

 - Peng Zhang has contributed some maintenance work on the maple tree
   code ("Improve the validation for maple tree and some cleanup").

 - Hugh Dickins has optimized the collapsing of shmem or file pages into
   THPs ("mm: free retracted page table by RCU").

 - Jiaqi Yan has a patch series which permits us to use the healthy
   subpages within a hardware poisoned huge page for general purposes
   ("Improve hugetlbfs read on HWPOISON hugepages").

 - Kemeng Shi has done some maintenance work on the pagetable-check code
   ("Remove unused parameters in page_table_check").

 - More folioification work from Matthew Wilcox ("More filesystem folio
   conversions for 6.6"), ("Followup folio conversions for zswap"). And
   from ZhangPeng ("Convert several functions in page_io.c to use a
   folio").

 - page_ext cleanups from Kemeng Shi ("minor cleanups for page_ext").

 - Baoquan He has converted some architectures to use the
   GENERIC_IOREMAP ioremap()/iounmap() code ("mm: ioremap: Convert
   architectures to take GENERIC_IOREMAP way").

 - Anshuman Khandual has optimized arm64 tlb shootdown ("arm64: support
   batched/deferred tlb shootdown during page reclamation/migration").

 - Better maple tree lockdep checking from Liam Howlett ("More strict
   maple tree lockdep"). Liam also developed some efficiency
   improvements ("Reduce preallocations for maple tree").

 - Cleanup and optimization to the secondary IOMMU TLB invalidation,
   from Alistair Popple ("Invalidate secondary IOMMU TLB on permission
   upgrade").

 - Ryan Roberts fixes some arm64 MM selftest issues ("selftests/mm fixes
   for arm64").

 - Kemeng Shi provides some maintenance work on the compaction code
   ("Two minor cleanups for compaction").

 - Some reduction in mmap_lock pressure from Matthew Wilcox ("Handle
   most file-backed faults under the VMA lock").

 - Aneesh Kumar contributes code to use the vmemmap optimization for DAX
   on ppc64, under some circumstances ("Add support for DAX vmemmap
   optimization for ppc64").

 - page-ext cleanups from Kemeng Shi ("add page_ext_data to get client
   data in page_ext"), ("minor cleanups to page_ext header").

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Some swap cleanups from Ma Wupeng ("fix WARN_ON in
   add_to_avail_list")

 - Peter Xu has a series (mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, speed up thp") which
   reduces the special-case code for handling hugetlb pages in GUP. It
   also speeds up GUP handling of transparent hugepages.

 - Peng Zhang provides some maple tree speedups ("Optimize the fast path
   of mas_store()").

 - Sergey Senozhatsky has improved te performance of zsmalloc during
   compaction (zsmalloc: small compaction improvements").

 - Domenico Cerasuolo has developed additional selftest code for zswap
   ("selftests: cgroup: add zswap test program").

 - xu xin has doe some work on KSM's handling of zero pages. These
   changes are mainly to enable the user to better understand the
   effectiveness of KSM's treatment of zero pages ("ksm: support
   tracking KSM-placed zero-pages").

 - Jeff Xu has fixes the behaviour of memfd's
   MEMFD_NOEXEC_SCOPE_NOEXEC_ENFORCED sysctl ("mm/memfd: fix sysctl

   poisoning ("add UFFDIO_POISON to simulate memory poisoning with
   UFFD").

   memory-failure code ("mm: memory-failure: remove unneeded PageHuge()
   check").

 - Peng Zhang has contributed some maintenance work on the maple tree
   code ("Improve the validation for maple tree and some cleanup").

 - Hugh Dickins has optimized the collapsing of shmem or file pages into
   THPs ("mm: free retracted page table by RCU").

 - Jiaqi Yan has a patch series which permits us to use the healthy
   subpages within a hardware poisoned huge page for general purposes
   ("Improve hugetlbfs read on HWPOISON hugepages").

 - Kemeng Shi has done some maintenance work on the pagetable-check code
   ("Remove unused parameters in page_table_check").

   conversions for 6.6"), ("Followup folio conversions for zswap"). And
   from ZhangPeng ("Convert several functions in page_io.c to use a
   folio").

   from Alistair Popple ("Invalidate secondary IOMMU TLB on permission
   upgrade").

   on ppc64, under some circumstances ("Add support for DAX vmemmap
   optimization for ppc64").
