The pmu::sched_task() is a context switch callback. It passes the cpuctx->task_ctx as a parameter to the lower code. To find the cpuctx->task_ctx, the current code iterates a cpuctx list. The same context was just iterated in perf_event_context_sched_in(), which is invoked right before the pmu::sched_task(). Reuse the cpuctx->task_ctx from perf_event_context_sched_in() can avoid the unnecessary iteration of the cpuctx list. Both pmu::sched_task and perf_event_context_sched_in() have to disable PMU. Pull the pmu::sched_task into perf_event_context_sched_in() can also save the overhead from the PMU disable and reenable. The new and old tasks may have equivalent contexts. The current code optimize this case by swapping the context, which avoids the scheduling. For this case, pmu::sched_task() is still required, e.g., restore the LBR content.

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.
