The 'running' variable is only used in the P4 PMU. Current perf sets the variable in the critical function x86_pmu_start(), which wastes cycles for everybody not running on P4. Move cpuc->running into the P4 specific p4_pmu_enable_event(). Add a static per-CPU 'p4_running' variable to replace the 'running' variable in the struct cpu_hw_events. Saves space for the generic structure. The p4_pmu_enable_all() also invokes the p4_pmu_enable_event(), but it should not set cpuc->running. Factor out __p4_pmu_enable_event() for p4_pmu_enable_all().

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.
