there's one complication that this trick is causing - the migration
counter relies on ctx->task to get per task migration stats:
static inline u64 get_cpu_migrations(struct perf_counter *counter)
{
struct task_struct *curr = counter->ctx->task;
if (curr)
return curr->se.nr_migrations;
return cpu_nr_migrations(smp_processor_id());
}
as ctx->task is now jumping (while we keep the context), the
migration stats are out of whack.
