It missed to convert a PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK user to call the new
perf_sample_save_brstack() helper in order to update the dyn_size.
This affects AMD Zen3 machines with the branch-brs event.

Now that KVM disables vPMU support on hybrid CPUs, WARN and return zeros
if perf_get_x86_pmu_capability() is invoked on a hybrid CPU. The helper
doesn't provide an accurate accounting of the PMU capabilities for hybrid
CPUs and needs to be enhanced if KVM, or anything else outside of perf,
wants to act on the PMU capabilities.

983bd8543b5a ("perf: Rewrite core context handling"), there is no need to
query the type of the hybrid CPU inside function init_hw_perf_events().

There have been various issues and limitations with the way perf uses
(task) contexts to track events. Most notable is the single hardware
PMU task context, which has resulted in a number of yucky things (both
proposed and merged).
Notably:
- HW breakpoint PMU
- ARM big.little PMU / Intel ADL PMU
- Intel Branch Monitoring PMU
- AMD IBS PMU
- S390 cpum_cf PMU
- PowerPC trace_imc PMU
*Current design:*
Currently we have a per task and per cpu perf_event_contexts:
task_struct::perf_events_ctxp[] <-> perf_event_context <-> perf_cpu_context
^ | ^ | ^
`---------------------------------' | `--> pmu ---'
v ^
perf_event ------'
Each task has an array of pointers to a perf_event_context. Each
perf_event_context has a direct relation to a PMU and a group of
events for that PMU. The task related perf_event_context's have a
pointer back to that task.
Each PMU has a per-cpu pointer to a per-cpu perf_cpu_context, which
includes a perf_event_context, which again has a direct relation to
that PMU, and a group of events for that PMU.
The perf_cpu_context also tracks which task context is currently
associated with that CPU and includes a few other things like the
hrtimer for rotation etc.
Each perf_event is then associated with its PMU and one
perf_event_context.
*Proposed design:*
New design proposed by this patch reduce to a single task context and
a single CPU context but adds some intermediate data-structures:
task_struct::perf_event_ctxp -> perf_event_context <- perf_cpu_context
^ | ^ ^
`---------------------------' | |
| | perf_cpu_pmu_context <--.
| `----. ^ |
| | | |
| v v |
| ,--> perf_event_pmu_context |
| | |
| | |
v v |
perf_event ---> pmu ----------------'
With the new design, perf_event_context will hold all events for all
pmus in the (respective pinned/flexible) rbtrees. This can be achieved
by adding pmu to rbtree key:
{cpu, pmu, cgroup, group_index}
Each perf_event_context carries a list of perf_event_pmu_context which
is used to hold per-pmu-per-context state. For example, it keeps track
of currently active events for that pmu, a pmu specific task_ctx_data,
a flag to tell whether rotation is required or not etc.
Additionally, perf_cpu_pmu_context is used to hold per-pmu-per-cpu
state like hrtimer details to drive the event rotation, a pointer to
perf_event_pmu_context of currently running task and some other
ancillary information.
Each perf_event is associated to it's pmu, perf_event_context and
perf_event_pmu_context.
Further optimizations to current implementation are possible. For
example, ctx_resched() can be optimized to reschedule only single pmu
events.
Much thanks to Ravi for picking this up and pushing it towards
completion.

If the PMU is broken due to firmware issues, check_hw_exists() will return
false but perf_get_x86_pmu_capability() will still return data from x86_pmu.
Likewise if some of the hotplug callbacks cannot be installed the contents
of x86_pmu will not be reverted.
Handle the failure in both cases by clearing x86_pmu if init_hw_perf_events()
or reverts to software events only.

Currently, we have [intel|knc|p4|p6]_perfmon_event_map on the Intel
platforms and amd_[f17h]_perfmon_event_map on the AMD platforms.
Early clumsy KVM code or other potential perf_event users may have
hard-coded these perfmon_maps (e.g., arch/x86/kvm/svm/pmu.c), so
it would not make sense to program a common hardware event based
on the generic "enum perf_hw_id" once the two tables do not match.
Let's provide an interface for callers outside the perf subsystem to get
the counter config based on the perfmon_event_map currently in use,
and it also helps to save bytes.

Splitting the logic for determining the guest values is unnecessarily
confusing, and potentially fragile. Perf should have full knowledge and
control of what values are loaded for the guest.
If we change .guest_get_msrs() to take a struct kvm_pmu pointer, then it
can generate the full set of guest values by grabbing guest ds_area and
pebs_data_cfg. Alternatively, .guest_get_msrs() could take the desired
guest MSR values directly (ds_area and pebs_data_cfg), but kvm_pmu is
vendor agnostic, so we don't see any reason to not just pass the pointer.

Add support for EPT-Friendly PEBS, a new CPU feature that enlightens PEBS
to translate guest linear address through EPT, and facilitates handling
VM-Exits that occur when accessing PEBS records. More information can
be found in the December 2021 release of Intel's SDM, Volume 3,
18.9.5 "EPT-Friendly PEBS". This new hardware facility makes sure the
guest PEBS records will not be lost, which is available on Intel Ice Lake
Server platforms (and later).
KVM will check this field through perf_get_x86_pmu_capability() instead
of hard coding the CPU models in the KVM code. If it is supported, the
guest PEBS capability will be exposed to the guest. Guest PEBS can be
enabled when and only when "EPT-Friendly PEBS" is supported and
EPT is enabled.

There's two problems with the current amd_brs_adjust_period() code:
- it isn't in fact AMD specific and wil always adjust the period;
- it adjusts the period, while it should only adjust the event count,
resulting in repoting a short period.
Fix this by using x86_pmu.limit_period, this makes it specific to the
AMD BRS case and ensures only the event count is adjusted while the
reported period is unmodified.

Add code to adjust the sampling event period when used with the Branch
Sampling feature (BRS). Given the depth of the BRS (16), the period is
reduced by that depth such that in the best case scenario, BRS saturates at
the desired sampling period. In practice, though, the processor may execute
more branches. Given a desired period P and a depth D, the kernel programs
the actual period at P - D. After P occurrences of the sampling event, the
counter overflows. It then may take X branches (skid) before the NMI is
caught and held by the hardware and BRS activates. Then, after D branches,
BRS saturates and the NMI is delivered. With no skid, the effective period
would be (P - D) + D = P. In practice, however, it will likely be (P - D) +
X + D. There is no way to eliminate X or predict X.

Add support for the AMD Fam19h 16-deep branch sampling feature as
described in the AMD PPR Fam19h Model 01h Revision B1. This is a model
specific extension. It is not an architected AMD feature.
The Branch Sampling (BRS) operates with a 16-deep saturating buffer in MSR
registers. There is no branch type filtering. All control flow changes are
captured. BRS relies on specific programming of the core PMU of Fam19h. In
particular, the following requirements must be met:
- the sampling period be greater than 16 (BRS depth)
- the sampling period must use a fixed and not frequency mode
BRS interacts with the NMI interrupt as well. Because enabling BRS is
expensive, it is only activated after P event occurrences, where P is the
desired sampling period. At P occurrences of the event, the counter
overflows, the CPU catches the interrupt, activates BRS for 16 branches until
it saturates, and then delivers the NMI to the kernel. Between the overflow
and the time BRS activates more branches may be executed skewing the period.
All along, the sampling event keeps counting. The skid may be attenuated by
reducing the sampling period by 16 (subsequent patch).
BRS is integrated into perf_events seamlessly via the same
PERF_RECORD_BRANCH_STACK sample format. BRS generates perf_branch_entry
records in the sampling buffer. No prediction information is supported. The
branches are stored in reverse order of execution. The most recent branch is
the first entry in each record.
No modification to the perf tool is necessary.
BRS can be used with any sampling event. However, it is recommended to use
the RETIRED_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS event because it matches what the BRS
captures.

The __range_not_ok() helper is an x86 (and sparc64) specific interface
that does roughly the same thing as __access_ok(), but with different
calling conventions.
Change this to use the normal interface in order for consistency as we
clean up all access_ok() implementations.
This changes the limit from TASK_SIZE to TASK_SIZE_MAX, which Al points
out is the right thing do do here anyway.
The callers have to use __access_ok() instead of the normal access_ok()
though, because on x86 that contains a WARN_ON_IN_IRQ() check that cannot
be used inside of NMI context while tracing.
The check in copy_code() is not needed any more, because this one is
already done by copy_from_user_nmi().

Add helpers for the guest callbacks to prepare for burying the callbacks
behind a Kconfig (it's a lot easier to provide a few stubs than to #ifdef
piles of code), and also to prepare for converting the callbacks to
static_call(). perf_instruction_pointer() in particular will have subtle
semantics with static_call(), as the "no callbacks" case will return 0 if
the callbacks are unregistered between querying guest state and getting
the IP. Implement the change now to avoid a functional change when adding
static_call() support, and because the new helper needs to return
_something_ in this case.

To prepare for using static_calls to optimize perf's guest callbacks,
replace ->is_in_guest and ->is_user_mode with a new multiplexed hook
->state, tweak ->handle_intel_pt_intr to play nice with being called when
there is no active guest, and drop "guest" from ->get_guest_ip.
Return '0' from ->state and ->handle_intel_pt_intr to indicate "not in
guest" so that DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_RET0 can be used to define the static
calls, i.e. no callback == !guest.

Protect perf_guest_cbs with RCU to fix multiple possible errors. Luckily,
all paths that read perf_guest_cbs already require RCU protection, e.g. to
protect the callback chains, so only the direct perf_guest_cbs touchpoints
need to be modified.
Bug #1 is a simple lack of WRITE_ONCE/READ_ONCE behavior to ensure
perf_guest_cbs isn't reloaded between a !NULL check and a dereference.
Fixed via the READ_ONCE() in rcu_dereference().
Bug #2 is that on weakly-ordered architectures, updates to the callbacks
themselves are not guaranteed to be visible before the pointer is made
visible to readers. Fixed by the smp_store_release() in
rcu_assign_pointer() when the new pointer is non-NULL.
Bug #3 is that, because the callbacks are global, it's possible for
readers to run in parallel with an unregisters, and thus a module
implementing the callbacks can be unloaded while readers are in flight,
resulting in a use-after-free. Fixed by a synchronize_rcu() call when
unregistering callbacks.
Bug #1 escaped notice because it's extremely unlikely a compiler will
reload perf_guest_cbs in this sequence. perf_guest_cbs does get reloaded
for future derefs, e.g. for ->is_user_mode(), but the ->is_in_guest()
guard all but guarantees the consumer will win the race, e.g. to nullify
perf_guest_cbs, KVM has to completely exit the guest and teardown down
all VMs before KVM start its module unload / unregister sequence. This
also makes it all but impossible to encounter bug #3.
Bug #2 has not been a problem because all architectures that register
callbacks are strongly ordered and/or have a static set of callbacks.
But with help, unloading kvm_intel can trigger bug #1 e.g. wrapping

PEBS-via-PT records contain a mask of applicable counters. To identify
which event belongs to which counter, a side-band event is needed. Until
now, there has been no side-band event, and consequently users were limited
to using a single event.
Add such a side-band event. Note the event is optimised to output only
when the counter index changes for an event. That works only so long as
all PEBS-via-PT events are scheduled together, which they are for a
recording session because they are in a single group.
Also no attribute bit is used to select the new event, so a new
kernel is not compatible with older perf tools. The assumption
being that PEBS-via-PT is sufficiently esoteric that users will not
be troubled by this.

perf_init_event tries multiple init callbacks and does not reset the
event state between tries. When x86_pmu_event_init runs, it
unconditionally sets the destroy callback to hw_perf_event_destroy. On
the next init attempt after x86_pmu_event_init, in perf_try_init_event,
if the pmu's capabilities includes PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE, the destroy
callback will be run. However, if the next init didn't set the destroy
callback, hw_perf_event_destroy will be run (since the callback wasn't
reset).
Looking at other pmu init functions, the common pattern is to only set
the destroy callback on a successful init. Resetting the callback on
failure tries to replicate that pattern.
This was discovered after commit f11dd0d80555 ("perf/x86/amd/ibs: Extend
PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE to IBS Op") when the second (and only second)
run of the perf tool after a reboot results in 0 samples being
generated. The extra run of hw_perf_event_destroy results in
active_events having an extra decrement on each perf run. The second run
has active_events == 0 and every subsequent run has active_events < 0.
When active_events == 0, the NMI handler will early-out and not record
any samples.

The problem being that it doesn't filter out all fake counters, in
specific the above (erroneously) tries to use FIXED_BTS. Limit the

The counter value of a perf task may leak to another RDPMC task.
For example, a perf stat task as below is running on CPU 0.
perf stat -e 'branches,cycles' -- taskset -c 0 ./workload
In the meantime, an RDPMC task, which is also running on CPU 0, may read
the GP counters periodically. (The RDPMC task creates a fixed event,
but read four GP counters.)
$./rdpmc_read_all_counters
index 0x0 value 0x8001e5970f99
index 0x1 value 0x8005d750edb6
index 0x2 value 0x0
index 0x3 value 0x0
index 0x0 value 0x8002358e48a5
index 0x1 value 0x8006bd1e3bc9
index 0x2 value 0x0
index 0x3 value 0x0
It is a potential security issue. Once the attacker knows what the other
thread is counting. The PerfMon counter can be used as a side-channel to
attack cryptosystems.
The counter value of the perf stat task leaks to the RDPMC task because
perf never clears the counter when it's stopped.
Three methods were considered to address the issue.
- Unconditionally reset the counter in x86_pmu_del(). It can bring extra
overhead even when there is no RDPMC task running.
- Only reset the un-assigned dirty counters when the RDPMC task is
scheduled in via sched_task(). It fails for the below case.
Thread A Thread B
clone(CLONE_THREAD) --->
set_affine(0)
set_affine(1)
while (!event-enabled)
;
event = perf_event_open()
mmap(event)
ioctl(event, IOC_ENABLE); --->
RDPMC
Counters are still leaked to the thread B.
- Only reset the un-assigned dirty counters before updating the CR4.PCE
bit. The method is implemented here.
The dirty counter is a counter, on which the assigned event has been
deleted, but the counter is not reset. To track the dirty counters,
add a 'dirty' variable in the struct cpu_hw_events.
The security issue can only be found with an RDPMC task. To enable the
RDMPC, the CR4.PCE bit has to be updated. Add a
perf_clear_dirty_counters() right before updating the CR4.PCE bit to
clear the existing dirty counters. Only the current un-assigned dirty
counters are reset, because the RDPMC assigned dirty counters will be
updated soon.
After applying the patch,
$ ./rdpmc_read_all_counters
index 0x0 value 0x0
index 0x1 value 0x0
index 0x2 value 0x0
index 0x3 value 0x0
index 0x0 value 0x0
index 0x1 value 0x0
index 0x2 value 0x0
index 0x3 value 0x0
Performance
The performance of a context switch only be impacted when there are two
or more perf users and one of the users must be an RDPMC user. In other
cases, there is no performance impact.
The worst-case occurs when there are two users: the RDPMC user only
uses one counter; while the other user uses all available counters.
When the RDPMC task is scheduled in, all the counters, other than the
RDPMC assigned one, have to be reset.
Test results for the worst-case, using a modified lat_ctx as measured
on an Ice Lake platform, which has 8 GP and 3 FP counters (ignoring
SLOTS).
lat_ctx -s 128K -N 1000 processes 2
Without the patch:
The context switch time is 4.97 us
With the patch:
The context switch time is 5.16 us
There is ~4% performance drop for the context switching time in the
worst-case.

Pull perf event updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Improve Intel uncore PMU support:
- Parse uncore 'discovery tables' - a new hardware capability
enumeration method introduced on the latest Intel platforms. This
table is in a well-defined PCI namespace location and is read via
MMIO. It is organized in an rbtree.
These uncore tables will allow the discovery of standard counter
blocks, but fancier counters still need to be enumerated
explicitly.
- Add Alder Lake support
- Improve IIO stacks to PMON mapping support on Skylake servers
- Add Intel Alder Lake PMU support - which requires the introduction of
'hybrid' CPUs and PMUs. Alder Lake is a mix of Golden Cove ('big')
and Gracemont ('small' - Atom derived) cores.
The CPU-side feature set is entirely symmetrical - but on the PMU
side there's core type dependent PMU functionality.
- Reduce data loss with CPU level hardware tracing on Intel PT / AUX
profiling, by fixing the AUX allocation watermark logic.
- Improve ring buffer allocation on NUMA systems
- Put 'struct perf_event' into their separate kmem_cache pool
- Add support for synchronous signals for select perf events. The
immediate motivation is to support low-overhead sampling-based race
detection for user-space code. The feature consists of the following
main changes:
- Add thread-only event inheritance via
perf_event_attr::inherit_thread, which limits inheritance of
events to CLONE_THREAD.
- Add the ability for events to not leak through exec(), via
perf_event_attr::remove_on_exec.
- Allow the generation of SIGTRAP via perf_event_attr::sigtrap,
extend siginfo with an u64 ::si_perf, and add the breakpoint
information to ::si_addr and ::si_perf if the event is
PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT.
The siginfo support is adequate for breakpoints right now - but the
new field can be used to introduce support for other types of
metadata passed over siginfo as well.
- Misc fixes, cleanups and smaller updates.

The 64 bit value read from MSR_ARCH_PERFMON_FIXED_CTR_CTRL is being
bit-wise masked with the value (0x03 << i*4). However, the shifted value
is evaluated using 32 bit arithmetic, so will UB when i > 8. Fix this
by making 0x03 a ULL so that the shift is performed using 64 bit
arithmetic.
This makes the arithmetic internally consistent and preparers for the

Current Hardware events and Hardware cache events have special perf
types, PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE. The two types don't
pass the PMU type in the user interface. For a hybrid system, the perf
subsystem doesn't know which PMU the events belong to. The first capable
PMU will always be assigned to the events. The events never get a chance
to run on the other capable PMUs.
Extend the two types to become PMU aware types. The PMU type ID is
stored at attr.config[63:32].
Add a new PMU capability, PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_HW_TYPE, to indicate a
PMU which supports the extended PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and
PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE.
The PMU type is only required when searching a specific PMU. The PMU
specific codes will only be interested in the 'real' config value, which
is stored in the low 32 bit of the event->attr.config. Update the
event->attr.config in the generic code, so the PMU specific codes don't
need to calculate it separately.
If a user specifies a PMU type, but the PMU doesn't support the extended
type, error out.
If an event cannot be initialized in a PMU specified by a user, error
out immediately. Perf should not try to open it on other PMUs.
The new PMU capability is only set for the X86 hybrid PMUs for now.
Other architectures, e.g., ARM, may need it as well. The support on ARM
may be implemented later separately.

Hybrid PMUs have different events and formats. In theory, Hybrid PMU
specific attributes should be maintained in the dedicated struct
x86_hybrid_pmu, but it wastes space because the events and formats are
similar among Hybrid PMUs.
To reduce duplication, all hybrid PMUs will share a group of attributes
in the following patch. To distinguish an attribute from different
Hybrid PMUs, a PMU aware attribute structure is introduced. A PMU type
is required for the attribute structure. The type is internal usage. It
is not visible in the sysfs API.
Hybrid PMUs may support the same event name, but with different event
encoding, e.g., the mem-loads event on an Atom PMU has different event
encoding from a Core PMU. It brings issue if two attributes are
created for them. Current sysfs_update_group finds an attribute by
searching the attr name (aka event name). If two attributes have the
same event name, the first attribute will be replaced.
To address the issue, only one attribute is created for the event. The
event_str is extended and stores event encodings from all Hybrid PMUs.
Each event encoding is divided by ";". The order of the event encodings
must follow the order of the hybrid PMU index. The event_str is internal
usage as well. When a user wants to show the attribute of a Hybrid PMU,
only the corresponding part of the string is displayed.

Different hybrid PMUs have different PMU capabilities and events. Perf
should registers a dedicated PMU for each of them.
To check the X86 event, perf has to go through all possible hybrid pmus.
All the hybrid PMUs are registered at boot time. Before the
registration, add intel_pmu_check_hybrid_pmus() to check and update the
counters information, the event constraints, the extra registers and the
unique capabilities for each hybrid PMUs.
Postpone the display of the PMU information and HW check to
CPU_STARTING, because the boot CPU is the only online CPU in the
init_hw_perf_events(). Perf doesn't know the availability of the other
PMUs. Perf should display the PMU information only if the counters of
the PMU are available.
One type of CPUs may be all offline. For this case, users can still
observe the PMU in /sys/devices, but its CPU mask is 0.
All hybrid PMUs have capability PERF_PMU_CAP_HETEROGENEOUS_CPUS.
The PMU name for hybrid PMUs will be "cpu_XXX", which will be assigned
later in a separated patch.
The PMU type id for the core PMU is still PERF_TYPE_RAW. For the other
hybrid PMUs, the PMU type id is not hard code.
The event->cpu must be compatitable with the supported CPUs of the PMU.
Add a check in the x86_pmu_event_init().
The events in a group must be from the same type of hybrid PMU.
The fake cpuc used in the validation must be from the supported CPU of
the event->pmu.
Perf may not retrieve a valid core type from get_this_hybrid_cpu_type().
For example, ADL may have an alternative configuration. With that
configuration, Perf cannot retrieve the core type from the CPUID leaf
0x1a. Add a platform specific get_hybrid_cpu_type(). If the generic way
fails, invoke the platform specific get_hybrid_cpu_type().

The temporary pmu assignment in event_init is unnecessary.
The assignment was introduced by commit 8113070d6639 ("perf_events:

not assigned yet when initializing an event. The assignment is required.
However, from commit 7e5b2a01d2ca ("perf: provide PMU when initing

The number of GP and fixed counters are different among hybrid PMUs.
Each hybrid PMU should use its own counter related information.
When handling a certain hybrid PMU, apply the number of counters from
the corresponding hybrid PMU.
When reserving the counters in the initialization of a new event,
reserve all possible counters.
The number of counter recored in the global x86_pmu is for the
architecture counters which are available for all hybrid PMUs. KVM
doesn't support the hybrid PMU yet. Return the number of the
architecture counters for now.
For the functions only available for the old platforms, e.g.,
intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm(), nothing is changed.

The intel_ctrl is the counter mask of a PMU. The PMU counter information
may be different among hybrid PMUs, each hybrid PMU should use its own
intel_ctrl to check and access the counters.
When handling a certain hybrid PMU, apply the intel_ctrl from the
corresponding hybrid PMU.
When checking the HW existence, apply the PMU and number of counters
from the corresponding hybrid PMU as well. Perf will check the HW
existence for each Hybrid PMU before registration. Expose the
check_hw_exists() for a later patch.

Some platforms, e.g. Alder Lake, have hybrid architecture. Although most
PMU capabilities are the same, there are still some unique PMU
capabilities for different hybrid PMUs. Perf should register a dedicated
pmu for each hybrid PMU.
Add a new struct x86_hybrid_pmu, which saves the dedicated pmu and
capabilities for each hybrid PMU.
The architecture MSR, MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES, only indicates the
architecture features which are available on all hybrid PMUs. The
architecture features are stored in the global x86_pmu.intel_cap.
For Alder Lake, the model-specific features are perf metrics and
PEBS-via-PT. The corresponding bits of the global x86_pmu.intel_cap
should be 0 for these two features. Perf should not use the global
intel_cap to check the features on a hybrid system.
Add a dedicated intel_cap in the x86_hybrid_pmu to store the
model-specific capabilities. Use the dedicated intel_cap to replace
the global intel_cap for thse two features. The dedicated intel_cap
will be set in the following "Add Alder Lake Hybrid support" patch.
Add is_hybrid() to distinguish a hybrid system. ADL may have an
alternative configuration. With that configuration, the
X86_FEATURE_HYBRID_CPU is not set. Perf cannot rely on the feature bit.
Add a new static_key_false, perf_is_hybrid, to indicate a hybrid system.
It will be assigned in the following "Add Alder Lake Hybrid support"
patch as well.

Some platforms, e.g. Alder Lake, have hybrid architecture. In the same
package, there may be more than one type of CPU. The PMU capabilities
are different among different types of CPU. Perf will register a
dedicated PMU for each type of CPU.
Add a 'pmu' variable in the struct cpu_hw_events to track the dedicated
PMU of the current CPU.
Current x86_get_pmu() use the global 'pmu', which will be broken on a
hybrid platform. Modify it to apply the 'pmu' of the specific CPU.
Initialize the per-CPU 'pmu' variable with the global 'pmu'. There is
nothing changed for the non-hybrid platforms.
The is_x86_event() will be updated in the later patch ("perf/x86:
Register hybrid PMUs") for hybrid platforms. For the non-hybrid
platforms, nothing is changed here.

The 'running' variable is only used in the P4 PMU. Current perf sets the
variable in the critical function x86_pmu_start(), which wastes cycles
for everybody not running on P4.
Move cpuc->running into the P4 specific p4_pmu_enable_event().
Add a static per-CPU 'p4_running' variable to replace the 'running'
variable in the struct cpu_hw_events. Saves space for the generic
structure.
The p4_pmu_enable_all() also invokes the p4_pmu_enable_event(), but it
should not set cpuc->running. Factor out __p4_pmu_enable_event() for
p4_pmu_enable_all().

Initialize x86_pmu.guest_get_msrs to return 0/NULL to handle the "nop"
case. Patching in perf_guest_get_msrs_nop() during setup does not work
if there is no PMU, as setup bails before updating the static calls,
leaving x86_pmu.guest_get_msrs NULL and thus a complete nop. Ultimately,
this causes VMX abort on VM-Exit due to KVM putting random garbage from
the stack into the MSR load list.
Add a comment in KVM to note that nr_msrs is valid if and only if the
return value is non-NULL.
Fixes: abd562df94d1 ("x86/perf: Use static_call for x86_pmu.guest_get_msrs")
