[PATCH v1 00/11] PEBS virtualization enabling via DS

[Luwei Kang]

The Processor Event-Based Sampling(PEBS) supported on mainstream Intel
platforms can provide an architectural state of the instruction executed
after the instruction that caused the event. This patchset is going to
enable PEBS feature via DS on KVM for the Icelake server.
Although PEBS via DS supports EPT violations feature is supported starting
Skylake Server, but we have to pin DS area to avoid losing PEBS records due
to some issues.

BTW:
The PEBS virtualization via Intel PT patchset V1 has been posted out and the
later version will base on this patchset.

Testing:
The guest can use PEBS feature like native. e.g.

# perf record -e instructions:ppp ./br_instr a

perf report on guest:
# Samples: 2K of event 'instructions:ppp', # Event count (approx.): 1473377250
# Overhead  Command   Shared Object      Symbol
  57.74%  br_instr  br_instr           [.] lfsr_cond
  41.40%  br_instr  br_instr           [.] cmp_end
   0.21%  br_instr  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __lock_acquire

perf report on host:
# Samples: 2K of event 'instructions:ppp', # Event count (approx.): 1462721386
# Overhead  Command   Shared Object     Symbol
  57.90%  br_instr  br_instr          [.] lfsr_cond
  41.95%  br_instr  br_instr          [.] cmp_end
   0.05%  br_instr  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] lock_acquire

  perf/x86/core: Support KVM to assign a dedicated counter for guest
    PEBS
  perf/x86/ds: Handle guest PEBS events overflow and inject fake PMI
  perf/x86: Expose a function to disable auto-reload
  KVM: x86/pmu: Decouple event enablement from event creation
