Arch PMU version 4 adds a streamlined FREEZE_LBR_ON_PMI feature, this
feature adds LBR_FRZ[bit 58] into IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS, this bit is
set due to the following conditions:
-- IA32_DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_LBR_ON_PMI has been set
-- A performance counter, configured to generate PMI, has overflowed to
signal a PMI. Consequently the LBR stack is frozen.
Effectively, this bit also serves as a control to enabled capturing
data in the LBR stack. When this bit is set, LBR stack is frozen, and
new LBR records won't be filled.
The sequence of streamlined freeze LBR is:
1. Profiling agent set IA32_DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_LBR_ON_PMI, and enable
a performance counter to generate PMI on overflow.
2. Processor generates PMI and sets IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS.LBR_FRZ,
then LBR stack is forzen.
3. Profiling agent PMI handler handles overflow, and clears
IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS.
4. When IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS.LBR_FRZ is cleared in step 3,
processor resume LBR stack, and new LBR records can be filled
again.
In order to emulate this behavior, LBR stack must be frozen on guest
vPMI. KVM has two choice to do this:
1. KVM stops vLBR event through perf_event_pause(), and put vLBR
event into off state, then vLBR lose LBR hw resource, finally guest
couldn't read LBR records in guest PMI handler. This choice couldn't
be used.
2. KVM clears guest DEBUGCTLMSR_LBR bit in VMCS on PMI, so when guest
is running, LBR HW stack is disabled, while vLBR event is still active
and own LBR HW, so guest could still read LBR records in guest PMI
handler. But the sequence of streamlined freeze LBR doesn't clear
DEBUGCTLMSR_LBR bit, so when guest read guest DEBUGCTL_MSR, KVM will
return a value with DEBUGCTLMSR_LBR bit set during LBR freezing. Once
guest clears IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS.LBR_FRZ in step 4, KVM will
re-enable guest LBR through setting guest DEBUGCTL_LBR bit in VMCS.
As KVM needs re-enable guest LBR when guest clears global status, the
handling of GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL MSR is moved from common pmu.c into
vmx/pmu_intel.c.
