[PATCH v5 5/8] perf: Invert perf_read_group() loops

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu
Date: Fri Aug 14 2015 - 02:53:05 EST


From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In order to enable the use of perf_event_read(.group = true), we need
to invert the sibling-child loop nesting of perf_read_group().

Currently we iterate the child list for each sibling, this precludes
using group reads. Flip things around so we iterate each group for
each child.

Changes to Peter's patch:
- Add GFP_KERNEL to kzalloc().
- Pass in address of counter to atomic_read().
- Return event->size rather than leader->size (perf_read_group())
- Keep chkpatch happy.
