perf_counter: Simplify and fix task migration counting
The task migrations counter was causing rare and hard to decypher memory corruptions under load. After a day of debugging and bisection we found that the problem was introduced with: 3f731ca: perf_counter: Fix cpu migration counter Turning them off fixes the crashes. Incidentally, the whole perf_counter_task_migration() logic can be done simpler as well, by injecting a proper sw-counter event. This cleanup also fixed the crashes. The precise failure mode is not completely clear yet, but we are clearly not unhappy about having a fix ;-) Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
