Revert "sched, perf: Use a single callback into the scheduler"
This reverts commit cb04ff9ac424 ("sched, perf: Use a single
callback into the scheduler").
Before this change was introduced, the process switch worked
like this (wrt. to perf event schedule):
schedule (prev, next)
- schedule out all perf events for prev
- switch to next
- schedule in all perf events for current (next)
After the commit, the process switch looks like:
schedule (prev, next)
- schedule out all perf events for prev
- schedule in all perf events for (next)
- switch to next
The problem is, that after we schedule perf events in, the pmu
is enabled and we can receive events even before we make the
switch to next - so "current" still being prev process (event
SAMPLE data are filled based on the value of the "current"
process).
Thats exactly what we see for test__PERF_RECORD test. We receive
SAMPLES with PID of the process that our tracee is scheduled
from.
Discussed with Peter Zijlstra:
> Bah!, yeah I guess reverting is the right thing for now. Sad
> though.

> hand-over of current and we thus don't receive the 'wrong'
> events.

> I rather liked we could do away with both that black-spot and
> clean up the code a little, but apparently people rely on it.
