[ Upstream commit fd7d55172d1e2e501e6da0a5c1de25f06612dc2e ]
Currently perf_rotate_context assumes that if the context's nr_events != nr_active a rotation is necessary for perf event multiplexing. With cgroups, nr_events is the total count of events for all cgroups and nr_active will not include events in a cgroup other than the current task's. This makes rotation appear necessary for cgroups when it is not.
Add a perf_event_context flag that is set when rotation is necessary. Clear the flag during sched_out and set it when a flexible sched_in fails due to resources.

[ Upstream commit 7fa343b7fdc4f351de4e3f28d5c285937dd1f42f ]
In perf_rotate_context(), when the first cpu flexible event fail to schedule, cpu_rotate is 1, while cpu_event is NULL. Since cpu_event is NULL, perf_rotate_context will _NOT_ call cpu_ctx_sched_out(), thus cpuctx->ctx.is_active will have EVENT_FLEXIBLE set. Then, the next perf_event_sched_in() will skip all cpu flexible events because of the EVENT_FLEXIBLE bit.
In the next call of perf_rotate_context(), cpu_rotate stays 1, and cpu_event stays NULL, so this process repeats. The end result is, flexible events on this cpu will not be scheduled (until another event being added to the cpuctx).
Here is an easy repro of this issue. On Intel CPUs, where ref-cycles could only use one counter, run one pinned event for ref-cycles, one flexible event for ref-cycles, and one flexible event for cycles. The flexible ref-cycles is never scheduled, which is expected. However, because of this issue, the cycles event is never scheduled either.
$ perf stat -e ref-cycles:D,ref-cycles,cycles -C 5 -I 1000
time counts unit events 1.000152973 15,412,480 ref-cycles:D 1.000152973 <not counted> ref-cycles (0.00%) 1.000152973 <not counted> cycles (0.00%) 2.000486957 18,263,120 ref-cycles:D 2.000486957 <not counted> ref-cycles (0.00%) 2.000486957 <not counted> cycles (0.00%)
To fix this, when the flexible_active list is empty, try rotate the first event in the flexible_groups. Also, rename ctx_first_active() to ctx_event_to_rotate(), which is more accurate.
