Stephane Eranian 447a194b39 perf_events, x86: Fix bug in hw_perf_enable()
We cannot assume that because hwc->idx == assign[i], we can avoid
reprogramming the counter in hw_perf_enable().

The event may have been scheduled out and another event may have been
programmed into this counter. Thus, we need a more robust way of
verifying if the counter still contains config/data related to an event.

This patch adds a generation number to each counter on each cpu. Using
this mechanism we can verify reliabilty whether the content of a counter
corresponds to an event.
