Subject: perf: Clarify perf_cpu_context::active_pmu by renaming it
From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijls...@chello.nl>
Date: Tue Oct 02 15:38:52 CEST 2012

Stephane thought the perf_cpu_context::active_pmu name confusing and
suggested using unique_pmu instead.

This pointer is a pointer to a 'random' pmu sharing the cpuctx
instance, therefore limiting a for_each_pmu loop to those where
cpuctx->unique_pmu matches the pmu we get a loop over unique cpuctx
instances.
