[PATCH v8 1/5] perf: Add a counter for number of user access events in context
From: Rob Herring
Date: Mon May 17 2021 - 15:54:18 EST
When scheduling a task's context, we need to know if the task has any
user accessible events in order to enable or disable user access.
Walking the context's list of events would be slow, so add a counter
to track this.
