Andi reported that he was hitting the linear search in perf_init_event() a lot. Make more agressive use of the IDR lookup to avoid hitting the linear search. With exception of PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE (which relies on a hideous hack), we can put everything in the IDR. On top of that, we can alias TYPE_HARDWARE and TYPE_HW_CACHE to TYPE_RAW on the lookup side. This greatly reduces the chances of hitting the linear search.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
