To reduce the overhead, the XSAVES instruction should be used to replace the LBR registers' reading method. The XSAVES buffer used for LBR read has to be per-CPU because the NMI handler invoked the lbr_read(). The existing task_ctx_data buffer cannot be used which is per-task and only be allocated for the LBR call stack mode. A new lbr_xsave pointer is introduced in the cpu_hw_events as an XSAVES buffer for LBR read. The XSAVES buffer should be allocated only when LBR is used by a non-PEBS event on the CPU because the total size of the lbr_xsave is not small (~1.4KB). The XSAVES buffer is allocated when a non-PEBS event is added, but it is lazily released in x86_release_hardware() when perf releases the entire PMU hardware resource, because perf may frequently schedule the event, e.g. high context switch. The lazy release method reduces the overhead of frequently allocate/free the buffer. If the lbr_xsave fails to be allocated, roll back to normal Arch LBR lbr_read().
