Andi reported that when creating a lot of events, a lot of time is spent in IPIs and asked if it would be possible to elide some of that. Now when, as for example the perf-tool always does, events are created disabled, then these events will not need to be scheduled when added to the context (they're still disable) and therefore the IPI is not required -- except for the very first event, that will need to set ctx->is_active. ( It might be possible to set ctx->is_active remotely for cpu_ctx, but we really need the IPI for task_ctx, so lets not make that distinction. ) Also use __perf_effective_state() since group events depend on the state of the leader, if the leader is OFF, the whole group is OFF. So when sibling events are created enabled (XXX check tool) then we only need a single IPI to create and enable the whole group (+ that initial IPI to initialize the context).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
