Subject: perf/x86: Add constraint to create guest LBR event without hw counter From: Like Xu <like.xu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 14 May 2020 16:30:47 +0800 From: Like Xu <like.xu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The hypervisor may request the perf subsystem to schedule a time window to directly access the LBR stack msrs for its own use. Normally, it would create a guest LBR event with callstack mode enabled, which is scheduled along with other ordinary LBR events on the host but in an exclusive way. To avoid wasting a counter for the guest LBR event, the perf tracks it via needs_guest_lbr_without_counter() and assigns it with a fake VLBR counter with the help of new lbr_without_counter_constraint. As with the BTS event, there is actually no hardware counter assigned for the guest LBR event.
