WARNING: patches 1, 4 and 5 are NOT intended to be applied as is. More
on this below.

This series basically builds on the idea of the first patch of my
previous series, but extends it in a way that

	a) the other patches are not needed  (at least, not as is) and
	b) driver can rebind just fine - no issues with the new call to
	   perf_pmu_register()

Another difference is that rather than mixing i915 cleanups this just
adds a dummy pmu with no backing HW. Intention for dummy_pmu is for
experimental purpose and to demonstrate changes tha need to be applied
to i915 (and probably amdgpu, and also in the pending xe patch).
If desired to have an example like that in tree, then we should hide it
behind a config option and I'd need to re-check the error handling.

With this set I could run the following test script multiple times with
no issues observed:

	#!/bin/bash

	set -e 

	rand_sleep() {
		sleep $(bc -l  <<< "$(shuf -i 0-3000 -n 1) / 1000")
	}

	test_noperf() {
		echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/dummy_pmu/bind

		echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/dummy_pmu/unbind
	}

	test_perf_before() {
		echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/dummy_pmu/bind

		perf stat --interval-count 2 -e dummy_pmu_0/test-event-1/ -I500
		echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/dummy_pmu/unbind
	}

	test_kill_perf_later() {
		echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/dummy_pmu/bind

		perf stat -e dummy_pmu_0/test-event-1/ -I500 &
		pid=$!
		rand_sleep
		echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/dummy_pmu/unbind
		rand_sleep
		kill $pid
	}

	test_kill_perf_laaaaaaater() {
		echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/dummy_pmu/bind

		perf stat -e dummy_pmu_0/test-event-1/ -I500 &
		pid=$!
		rand_sleep
		echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/dummy_pmu/unbind
		rand_sleep
		rand_sleep
		rand_sleep
		kill $pid
	}

	test_kill_perf_with_leader() {
		echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/dummy_pmu/bind

		perf stat -e '{dummy_pmu_0/test-event-1/,dummy_pmu_0/test-event-2/}:S' -I500 &
		pid=$!
		rand_sleep
		echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/dummy_pmu/unbind
		rand_sleep
		rand_sleep
		kill $pid
	}

	N=${1:-1}

	for ((i=0; i<N; i++)); do
		printf "%04u/%04u\n" "$((i+1))" "$N" >&2
		test_noperf
		test_perf_before
		test_kill_perf_later
		test_kill_perf_laaaaaaater
		test_kill_perf_with_leader
		echo >&2
	done

Last patch is optional for a driver and not needed for the fix.

Open topics:

	- If something like the last patch is desirable, should it be
	  done from inside perf_pmu_unregister()?

	- Should we have a dummy_pmu (or whatever name) behind a config,
	  or maybe in Documentation/ ?
