pmc_reprogram_counter() always sets a sample period based on the value of
pmc->counter. However, hsw_hw_config() rejects sample periods less than
2^31 - 1. So for example, if a KVM guest does
struct perf_event_attr attr;
memset(&attr, 0, sizeof(attr));
attr.type = PERF_TYPE_RAW;
attr.size = sizeof(attr);
attr.config = 0x2005101c4; // conditional branches retired IN_TXCP
attr.sample_period = 0;
int fd = syscall(__NR_perf_event_open, &attr, 0, -1, -1, 0);
ioctl(fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_DISABLE, 0);
ioctl(fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, 0);
the guest kernel counts some conditional branch events, then updates the
virtual PMU register with a nonzero count. The host reaches
pmc_reprogram_counter() with nonzero pmc->counter, triggers EOPNOTSUPP
in hsw_hw_config(), prints "kvm_pmu: event creation failed" in
pmc_reprogram_counter(), and silently (from the guest's point of view) stops
counting events.
We fix event counting by forcing attr.sample_period to always be zero for
in_tx_cp counters. Sampling doesn't work, but it already didn't work and
can't be fixed without major changes to the approach in hsw_hw_config().

This patch defines a new function pointer struct (kvm_pmu_ops) to
support vPMU for both Intel and AMD. The functions pointers defined in
this new struct will be linked with Intel and AMD functions later. In the
meanwhile the struct that maps from event_sel bits to PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE
events is renamed and moved from Intel specific code to kvm_host.h as a
common struct.

The rdpmc emulation checks that the counter (ECX) is not higher than 2, without
taking into considerations bits 30:31 role (e.g., bit 30 marks whether the
counter is fixed). The fix uses the pmu information for checking the validity
of the pmu counter.

If a guest enables a performance counter but does not enable PMI, the
hypervisor currently does not reprogram the performance counter once it
overflows. As a result the host performance counter is kept with the original
sampling period which was configured according to the value of the guest's
counter when the counter was enabled.
Such behaviour can cause very bad consequences. The most distrubing one can
cause the guest not to make any progress at all, and keep exiting due to host
PMI before any guest instructions is exeucted. This situation occurs when the
performance counter holds a very high value when the guest enables the
performance counter. As a result the host's sampling period is configured to be
very short. The host then never reconfigures the sampling period and get stuck
at entry->PMI->exit loop. We encountered such a scenario in our experiments.
The solution is to reprogram the counter even if the guest does not use PMI.

[KVM maintainers:
The underlying support for this is in perf/core now. So please merge
this patch into the KVM tree.]
This is not arch perfmon, but older CPUs will just ignore it. This makes
it possible to do at least some TSX measurements from a KVM guest
v2: Various fixes to address review feedback
v3: Ignore the bits when no CPUID. No #GP. Force raw events with TSX bits.
v4: Use reserved bits for #GP
v5: Remove obsolete argument

In order to migrate the PMU state correctly, we need to restore the
values of MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS (a read-only register) and
MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL (which has side effects when written).
We also need to write the full 40-bit value of the performance counter,
which would only be possible with a v3 architectural PMU's full-width
counter MSRs.
To distinguish host-initiated writes from the guest's, pass the
full struct msr_data to kvm_pmu_set_msr.
