Context switches with perf LBR call stack context are fairly expensive because they do a lot of MSR writes. Currently we unconditionally do the expensive operation when LBR call stack is enabled. It's not necessary for some common cases, e.g task -> other kernel thread -> same task. The LBR registers are not changed, hence they don't need to be rewritten/restored. Introduce per-CPU variables to track the last LBR call stack context. If the same context is scheduled in, the rewrite/restore is not required, with the following two exceptions: - The LBR registers may be modified by a normal LBR event, i.e., adding a new LBR event or scheduling an existing LBR event. In both cases, the LBR registers are reset first. The last LBR call stack information is cleared in intel_pmu_lbr_reset(). Restoring the LBR registers is required. - The LBR registers are initialized to zero in C6. If the LBR registers which TOS points is cleared, C6 must be entered while swapped out. Restoring the LBR registers is required as well. These exceptions are not common.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
