    perf/core: Generalize event->group_flags · 4ff6a8de
    David Carrillo-Cisneros authored
    Currently, PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE is used in the group_flags field of a
    group's leader to indicate that is_software_event(event) is true for all
    events in a group. This is the only usage of event->group_flags.
    
    This pattern of setting a group level flags when all events in the group
    share a property is useful for the flag introduced in the next patch and
    for future CQM/CMT flags. So this patches generalizes group_flags to work
    as an aggregate of event level flags.
    
    PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE denotes an inmutable event's property. All other flags
    that I intend to add are also determinable at event initialization.
    To better convey the above, this patch renames event's group_flags to
    group_caps and PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE to PERF_EV_CAP_SOFTWARE.
    
    Individual event flags are stored in the new event->event_caps. Since the
    cap flags do not change after event initialization, there is no need to
    serialize event_caps. This new field is used when events are added to a
    context, similarly to how PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE and is_software_event()
    worked.
    
    Lastly, for consistency, updates is_software_event() to rely in event_cap
    instead of the context index.
