Drop the return value from x86_perf_get_lbr() and have the stub zero out
the @lbr structure instead of returning -1 to indicate "no LBR support".
KVM doesn't actually check the return value, and instead subtly relies on
zeroing the number of LBRs in intel_pmu_init().
Formalize "nr=0 means unsupported" so that KVM doesn't need to add a
pointless check on the return value to fix KVM's benign bug.
Note, the stub is necessary even though KVM x86 selects PERF_EVENTS and
the caller exists only when CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=y. Despite the name,
KVM_INTEL doesn't strictly require CPU_SUP_INTEL, it can be built with
any of INTEL || CENTAUR || ZHAOXIN CPUs.

The intel_pebs_isolation quirk checks both model number and stepping.
Cooper Lake has a different stepping (11) than the other Skylake Xeon.
It cannot benefit from the optimization in commit 9b545c04abd4f
("perf/x86/kvm: Avoid unnecessary work in guest filtering").
Add the stepping of Cooper Lake into the isolation_ucodes[] table.

In case of fused compare and taken branch instructions, the AMD LBR points to
the compare instruction instead of the branch. Users of LBR usually expects
the from address to point to a branch instruction. The kernel has code to
adjust the from address via get_branch_type_fused(). However this correction
is only applied when a branch filter is applied. That means that if no
filter is present, the quality of the data is lower.
Fix the problem by applying the adjustment regardless of the filter setting,
bringing the AMD LBR to the same level as other LBR implementations.

All the fixed counters share a fixed control register. The current
perf reads and re-writes the fixed control register for each fixed
counter disable/enable, which is unnecessary.
When changing the fixed control register, the entire PMU must be
disabled via the global control register. The changing cannot be taken
effect until the entire PMU is re-enabled. Only updating the fixed
control register once right before the entire PMU re-enabling is
enough.
The read of the fixed control register is not necessary either. The
value can be cached in the per CPU cpu_hw_events.
Test results:
Counting all the fixed counters with the perf bench sched pipe as below
on a SPR machine.
$perf stat -e cycles,instructions,ref-cycles,slots --no-inherit --

When a guest PEBS counter is cross-mapped by a host counter, software
will remove the corresponding bit in the arr[global_ctrl].guest and
expect hardware to perform a change of state "from enable to disable"
via the msr_slot[] switch during the vmx transaction.
The real world is that if user adjust the counter overflow value small
enough, it still opens a tiny race window for the previously PEBS-enabled
counter to write cross-mapped PEBS records into the guest's PEBS buffer,
when arr[global_ctrl].guest has been prioritised (switch_msr_special stuff)
to switch into the enabled state, while the arr[pebs_enable].guest has not.

| new | new | PERF_BR_NO_TX is recognized |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
When PERF_BR_NO_TX is blocked via old PERF_BR_MAX (new kernel with old perf
tool) the user space might throw up an warning complaining about an
unrecognized branch types being reported, but it's expected. PERF_BR_SERROR
& PERF_BR_NO_TX branch types will be used for BRBE implementation on arm64
platform.
PERF_BR_NO_TX complements 'abort' and 'in_tx' elements in perf_branch_entry
which represent other transaction states for a given branch record. Because
this completes the transaction state classification.

Provide branch speculation information captured via AMD Last Branch Record
Extension Version 2 (LbrExtV2) by setting the speculation info in branch
records. The info is based on the "valid" and "spec" bits in the Branch To
registers.

AMD Last Branch Record Extension Version 2 (LbrExtV2) can report a branch
from address that points to an instruction preceding the actual branch by
several bytes due to branch fusion and further optimizations in Zen4
processors.
In such cases, software should move forward sequentially in the instruction
stream from the reported address and the address of the first branch
encountered should be used instead. Hence, use the fusion-aware branch
classifier to determine the correct branch type and get the offset for
adjusting the branch from address.

With branch fusion and other optimizations, branch sampling hardware in
some processors can report a branch from address that points to an
instruction preceding the actual branch by several bytes.
In such cases, the classifier cannot determine the branch type which leads
to failures such as with the recently added test from commit b55878c90ab9
("perf test: Add test for branch stack sampling"). Branch information is
also easier to consume and annotate if branch from addresses always point
to branch instructions.
Add a new variant of the branch classifier that can account for instruction
fusion. If fusion is expected and the current branch from address does not
point to a branch instruction, it attempts to find the first branch within
the next (MAX_INSN_SIZE - 1) bytes and if found, additionally provides the
offset between the reported branch from address and the address of the
expected branch instruction.

With AMD Last Branch Record Extension Version 2 (LbrExtV2), it is necessary
to process the branch records further as hardware filtering is not granular
enough for identifying certain types of branches. E.g. to record system
calls, one should record far branches. The filter captures both far calls
and far returns but the irrelevant records are filtered out based on the
branch type as seen by the branch classifier.

Commit 3e702ff6d1ea ("perf/x86: Add LBR software filter support for Intel
CPUs") introduces a software branch filter which complements the hardware
branch filter and adds an x86 branch classifier.
Move the branch classifier to arch/x86/events/ so that it can be utilized
by other vendors for branch record filtering.

If AMD Last Branch Record Extension Version 2 (LbrExtV2) is detected,
convert the requested branch filter (PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_* flags) to the
corresponding hardware filter value and stash it in the event data when
a branch stack is requested. The hardware filter value is also saved in
per-CPU areas for use during event scheduling.
Hardware filtering is provided by the LBR Branch Select register. It has
bits which when set, suppress recording of the following types of branches:
* CPL = 0 (Kernel only)
* CPL > 0 (Userspace only)
* Conditional Branches
* Near Relative Calls
* Near Indirect Calls
* Near Returns
* Near Indirect Jumps (excluding Near Indirect Calls and Near Returns)
* Near Relative Jumps (excluding Near Relative Calls)
* Far Branches
