Subject: [RFC PATCH 06/41] perf: x86: Add function to switch PMI handler

From: Xiong Zhang <[email protected]>

Add function to switch PMI handler since passthrough PMU and host PMU will
use different interrupt vectors.

Why slice and dice the context switch if it's all in perf? Just do this in
perf_guest_enter().

Ah, because perf_guest_enter() isn't x86-specific.

That can be solved by having the exported APIs be arch specific, e.g.
x86_perf_guest_enter(), and making perf_guest_enter() a perf-internal API.

That has the advantage of making it impossible to call perf_guest_enter() on an
unsupported architecture (modulo perf bugs).

Make sense. I will try it.

As perf_guest_enter() is in perf core which manages all PMUs, while switch_pmi_vector is for x86 core PMU only, so switch_pmi_vector is put in x86 pmu driver. pmu driver can call perf core function directly, perf core manage pmu through pmu->ops and pmu->flags. If switch_pmi_vector is called in perf_guest_enter, extra interfaces will be added into pmu->ops, this impacts other PMU driver.
