Add a new function perf_event_topdown_metrics(). This new function is
quite familiar with function perf_event_period(), but it updates slots
count and metrics raw data instead of sample period into perf system.
When guest restores FIXED_CTR3 and PERF_METRICS MSRs in sched-in process,
KVM needs to capture the MSR writing trap and set the MSR values of guest
into corresponding perf events just like function perf_event_period()
does.
Initially we tried to reuse the function perf_event_period() to set the
slots/metrics value, but we found it was quite hard. The function
perf_event_period() only works on sampling events but unfortunately
slots event and metric events in topdown mode are all non-sampling
events. There are sampling event check and lots of sampling period
related check and setting in the function perf_event_period()
call-chain. If we want to reuse the function perf_event_period(), we
have to add lots of if-else changes on the entire function-chain and
even modify the function name. This would totally mess up the function
perf_event_period().
Thus, we select to create a new function perf_event_topdown_metrics() to
set the slots/metrics values. This makes logic and code both be clearer.
