Intel: perf/x86: Add constraint to create guest LBR event without hw counter
mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.9-rc1 commit 097e4311 category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I47H3V CVE: NA -------------------------------- commit 097e4311 upstream Backport summary: backport to kernel 4.19.57 for ICX perf topdown support The hypervisor may request the perf subsystem to schedule a time window to directly access the LBR records msrs for its own use. Normally, it would create a guest LBR event with callstack mode enabled, which is scheduled along with other ordinary LBR events on the host but in an exclusive way. To avoid wasting a counter for the guest LBR event, the perf tracks its hw->idx via INTEL_PMC_IDX_FIXED_VLBR and assigns it with a fake VLBR counter with the help of new vlbr_constraint. As with the BTS event, there is actually no hardware counter assigned for the guest LBR event. Signed-off-by:Like Xu <like.xu@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by:
