Currently re-scheduling a context will reschedule all active PMUs for that context, even if it is known only a single event is added. Namhyung reported that changing this to only reschedule the affected PMU when possible provides significant performance gains under certain conditions. Therefore, allow partial context reschedules for a specific PMU, that of the event modified. While the patch looks somewhat noisy, it mostly just propagates a new @pmu argument through the callchain and modifies the epc loop to only pick the 'epc->pmu == @pmu' case.

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 reStructuredText 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.
