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.

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 --
taskset -c 1 perf bench sched pipe
The Total elapsed time reduces from 5.36s (without the patch) to 4.99s
(with the patch), which is ~6.9% improvement.

The Alder Lake N only has e-cores. The X86_FEATURE_HYBRID_CPU flag is
not set. The perf cannot retrieve the correct CPU type via
get_this_hybrid_cpu_type(). The model specific get_hybrid_cpu_type() is
hardcode to p-core. The wrong CPU type is given to the PMU of the
Alder Lake N.
Since Alder Lake N isn't in fact a hybrid CPU, remove ALDERLAKE_N from
the rest of {ALDER,RAPTOP}LAKE and create a non-hybrid PMU setup.
The differences between Gracemont and the previous Tremont are,
- Number of GP counters
- Load and store latency Events
- PEBS event_constraints
- Instruction Latency support
- Data source encoding
- Memory access latency encoding

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.

If AMD Last Branch Record Extension Version 2 (LbrExtV2) is detected,
enable it alongside LBR Freeze on PMI when an event requests branch stack
i.e. PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK.
Each branch record is represented by a pair of registers, LBR From and LBR
To. The freeze feature prevents any updates to these registers once a PMC
overflows. The contents remain unchanged until the freeze bit is cleared by
the PMI handler.
The branch records are read and copied to sample data before unfreezing.
However, only valid entries are copied. There is no additional register to
denote which of the register pairs represent the top of the stack (TOS)
since internal register renaming always ensures that the first pair (i.e.
index 0) is the one representing the most recent branch and so on.
The LBR registers are per-thread resources and are cleared explicitly
whenever a new task is scheduled in. There are no special implications on
the contents of these registers when transitioning to deep C-states.

The PEBS memory access latency encoding for the e-core is slightly

All the information required by the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT is

for PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type to save PMIs overhead until
other non-compatible flags such as PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_PAGE_SIZE

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.

On AMD Fam19h Zen3, the branch sampling (BRS) feature must be disabled before
entering low power and re-enabled (if was active) when returning from low
power. Otherwise, the NMI interrupt may be held up for too long and cause
problems. Stopping BRS will cause the NMI to be delivered if it was held up.
Define a perf_amd_brs_lopwr_cb() callback to stop/restart BRS. The callback
is protected by a jump label which is enabled only when AMD BRS is detected.
In all other cases, the callback is never called.

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 Goldmont plus and Tremont have LBR format V7. The V7 has LBR_INFO,
which is the same as LBR format V5. But V7 doesn't support TSX.
Without the patch, the associated misprediction and cycles information
in the LBR_INFO may be lost on a Goldmont plus platform.
For Tremont, the patch only impacts the non-PEBS events. Because of the
adaptive PEBS, the LBR_INFO is always processed for a PEBS event.
Currently, two different ways are used to check the LBR capabilities,
which make the codes complex and confusing.
For the LBR format V4 and earlier, the global static lbr_desc array is
used to store the flags for the LBR capabilities in each LBR format.
For LBR format V5 and V6, the current code checks the version number
for the LBR capabilities.
There are common LBR capabilities among LBR format versions. Several
flags for the LBR capabilities are introduced into the struct x86_pmu.
The flags, which can be shared among LBR formats, are used to check
the LBR capabilities. Add intel_pmu_lbr_init() to set the flags
accordingly at boot time.

Pull x86 fpu updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Cleanup of extable fixup handling to be more robust, which in turn
allows to make the FPU exception fixups more robust as well.
- Change the return code for signal frame related failures from
explicit error codes to a boolean fail/success as that's all what the
calling code evaluates.
- A large refactoring of the FPU code to prepare for adding AMX
support:
- Distangle the public header maze and remove especially the
misnomed kitchen sink internal.h which is despite it's name
included all over the place.
- Add a proper abstraction for the register buffer storage (struct
fpstate) which allows to dynamically size the buffer at runtime
by flipping the pointer to the buffer container from the default
container which is embedded in task_struct::tread::fpu to a
dynamically allocated container with a larger register buffer.
- Convert the code over to the new fpstate mechanism.
- Consolidate the KVM FPU handling by moving the FPU related code
into the FPU core which removes the number of exports and avoids
adding even more export when AMX has to be supported in KVM.
This also removes duplicated code which was of course
unnecessary different and incomplete in the KVM copy.
- Simplify the KVM FPU buffer handling by utilizing the new
fpstate container and just switching the buffer pointer from the
user space buffer to the KVM guest buffer when entering
vcpu_run() and flipping it back when leaving the function. This
cuts the memory requirements of a vCPU for FPU buffers in half
and avoids pointless memory copy operations.
This also solves the so far unresolved problem of adding AMX
support because the current FPU buffer handling of KVM inflicted
a circular dependency between adding AMX support to the core and
to KVM. With the new scheme of switching fpstate AMX support can
be added to the core code without affecting KVM.
- Replace various variables with proper data structures so the
extra information required for adding dynamically enabled FPU
features (AMX) can be added in one place
- Add AMX (Advanced Matrix eXtensions) support (finally):
AMX is a large XSTATE component which is going to be available with
Saphire Rapids XEON CPUs. The feature comes with an extra MSR
(MSR_XFD) which allows to trap the (first) use of an AMX related
instruction, which has two benefits:
1) It allows the kernel to control access to the feature
2) It allows the kernel to dynamically allocate the large register
state buffer instead of burdening every task with the the extra
8K or larger state storage.
It would have been great to gain this kind of control already with
AVX512.
The support comes with the following infrastructure components:
1) arch_prctl() to
- read the supported features (equivalent to XGETBV(0))
- read the permitted features for a task
- request permission for a dynamically enabled feature
Permission is granted per process, inherited on fork() and
cleared on exec(). The permission policy of the kernel is
restricted to sigaltstack size validation, but the syscall
obviously allows further restrictions via seccomp etc.
2) A stronger sigaltstack size validation for sys_sigaltstack(2)
which takes granted permissions and the potentially resulting
larger signal frame into account. This mechanism can also be used
to enforce factual sigaltstack validation independent of dynamic
features to help with finding potential victims of the 2K
sigaltstack size constant which is broken since AVX512 support
was added.
3) Exception handling for #NM traps to catch first use of a extended
feature via a new cause MSR. If the exception was caused by the
use of such a feature, the handler checks permission for that
feature. If permission has not been granted, the handler sends a
SIGILL like the #UD handler would do if the feature would have
been disabled in XCR0. If permission has been granted, then a new
fpstate which fits the larger buffer requirement is allocated.
In the unlikely case that this allocation fails, the handler
sends SIGSEGV to the task. That's not elegant, but unavoidable as
the other discussed options of preallocation or full per task
permissions come with their own set of horrors for kernel and/or
userspace. So this is the lesser of the evils and SIGSEGV caused
by unexpected memory allocation failures is not a fundamentally
new concept either.
When allocation succeeds, the fpstate properties are filled in to
reflect the extended feature set and the resulting sizes, the
fpu::fpstate pointer is updated accordingly and the trap is
disarmed for this task permanently.
4) Enumeration and size calculations
5) Trap switching via MSR_XFD
The XFD (eXtended Feature Disable) MSR is context switched with
the same life time rules as the FPU register state itself. The
mechanism is keyed off with a static key which is default
disabled so !AMX equipped CPUs have zero overhead. On AMX enabled
CPUs the overhead is limited by comparing the tasks XFD value
with a per CPU shadow variable to avoid redundant MSR writes. In
case of switching from a AMX using task to a non AMX using task
or vice versa, the extra MSR write is obviously inevitable.
All other places which need to be aware of the variable feature
sets and resulting variable sizes are not affected at all because
they retrieve the information (feature set, sizes) unconditonally
from the fpstate properties.
6) Enable the new AMX states
Note, this is relatively new code despite the fact that AMX support
is in the works for more than a year now.
The big refactoring of the FPU code, which allowed to do a proper
integration has been started exactly 3 weeks ago. Refactoring of the
existing FPU code and of the original AMX patches took a week and has
been subject to extensive review and testing. The only fallout which
has not been caught in review and testing right away was restricted
to AMX enabled systems, which is completely irrelevant for anyone
outside Intel and their early access program. There might be dragons
lurking as usual, but so far the fine grained refactoring has held up
and eventual yet undetected fallout is bisectable and should be
easily addressable before the 5.16 release. Famous last words...
Many thanks to Chang Bae and Dave Hansen for working hard on this and
also to the various test teams at Intel who reserved extra capacity
to follow the rapid development of this closely which provides the
confidence level required to offer this rather large update for
inclusion into 5.16-rc1

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.

The typical way to access branch record (e.g. Intel LBR) is via hardware
perf_event. For CPUs with FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI support, PMI could capture
reliable LBR. On the other hand, LBR could also be useful in non-PMI
scenario. For example, in kretprobe or bpf fexit program, LBR could
provide a lot of information on what happened with the function. Add API
to use branch record for software use.
Note that, when the software event triggers, it is necessary to stop the
branch record hardware asap. Therefore, static_call is used to remove some
branch instructions in this process.

Different from the big core, the small core requires the ACK right
before re-enabling counters in the NMI handler, otherwise a stale PEBS
record may be dumped into the later NMI handler, which trigger the
warning.
Add a new mid_ack flag to track the case. Add all PMI handler bits in
the struct x86_hybrid_pmu to track the bits for different types of
PMUs. Apply mid ACK for the small cores on an Alder Lake machine.
The existing hybrid() macro has a compile error when taking address of
a bit-field variable. Add a new macro hybrid_bit() to get 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.

If the kernel is compiled with the CONFIG_LOCKDEP option, the conditional
might_sleep_if() deep in kmem_cache_alloc() will generate the following
trace, and potentially cause a deadlock when another LBR event is added:
[] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/sched/mm.h:196
[] Call Trace:
[] kmem_cache_alloc+0x36/0x250
[] intel_pmu_lbr_add+0x152/0x170

Make it symmetric with the release_lbr_buffers() call and mirror the
existing DS buffers.

Alder Lake Hybrid system has two different types of core, Golden Cove
core and Gracemont core. The Golden Cove core is registered to
"cpu_core" PMU. The Gracemont core is registered to "cpu_atom" PMU.
The difference between the two PMUs include:
- Number of GP and fixed counters
- Events
- The "cpu_core" PMU supports Topdown metrics.
The "cpu_atom" PMU supports PEBS-via-PT.
The "cpu_core" PMU is similar to the Sapphire Rapids PMU, but without
PMEM.
The "cpu_atom" PMU is similar to Tremont, but with different events,
event_constraints, extra_regs and number of counters.
The mem-loads AUX event workaround only applies to the Golden Cove core.
Users may disable all CPUs of the same CPU type on the command line or
in the BIOS. For this case, perf still register a PMU for the CPU type
but the CPU mask is 0.
Current caps/pmu_name is usually the microarch codename. Assign the
"alderlake_hybrid" to the caps/pmu_name of both PMUs to indicate the
hybrid Alder Lake microarchitecture.

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().

Different hybrid PMU may have different extra registers, e.g. Core PMU
may have offcore registers, frontend register and ldlat register. Atom
core may only have offcore registers and ldlat register. Each hybrid PMU
should use its own extra_regs.

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.
