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 its hw->idx via INTEL_PMC_IDX_FIXED_VLBR and assigns it with a fake VLBR counter with the help of new vlbr_constraint. As with the BTS event, there is actually no hardware counter assigned for the guest LBR event.
