The code sketch for reprogram_{gp, fixed}_counter() is similar, while the
fixed counter using the PERF_TYPE_HARDWAR type and the gp being
able to use either PERF_TYPE_HARDWAR or PERF_TYPE_RAW type
depending on the pmc->eventsel value.

After 'commit 761875634a5e ("KVM: x86/pmu: Setup pmc->eventsel
for fixed PMCs")', the pmc->eventsel of the fixed counter will also have
been setup with the same semantic value and will not be changed during
the guest runtime. But essentially, "the HARDWARE is just a convenience
wrapper over RAW IIRC", quoated from Peterz. So it could be pretty safe
to use the PERF_TYPE_RAW type only to program both gp and fixed
counters naturally in the reprogram_counter().

To make the gp and fixed counters more semantically symmetrical,
the selection of EVENTSEL_{USER, OS, INT} bits is temporarily translated
via fixed_ctr_ctrl before the pmc_reprogram_counter() call.

It seems that this extremely long argument list was motivated by the
differences between the two original call sites. Now that you have
mocked up a full eventsel (with USR, OS, INT, IN_TX, and IN_TXCP bits)
for the fixed counters, why not pass the entire eventsel as the third

I've thought about it.

I'm trying to pass-in generic bits (EVENT_MASK, USER, OS, INT) to
pmc_reprogram_counter() and let the latter handle the implementation details
of assembling the "struct perf_event_attr" to talk carefully with perf core.

I suppose the fixed counters doesn't support IN_TX* bits and I try to
clean those two away in another patch as you know.

In terms of code readability, the current one achieves a good balance.

argument and drop all of the rest? Then, pmc_reprogram_counter() can
extract/check the bits of interest.

This change seems unrelated.

The intention of using the PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE type is to emulate guest architecture
PMU on a host without architecture PMU (the oldest Pentium 4), for which the guest vPMC
needs to be reprogrammed using the kernel generic perf_hw_id.

This is the most original story of PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE, thanks to history teacher Paolo,
who also suggested this way to drop this kind of support.
