[PATCH v5 1/4] perf/core,x86: introduce swap_task_ctx() method at struct pmu

[Alexey Budankov <alexey.budankov@linux.intel.com>]

Declare swap_task_ctx() methods at the generic and x86 specific
pmu types to bridge calls to platform specific pmu code on optimized
context switch path between equivalent task perf event contexts.
