Subject: [PATCH v11 04/11] perf/x86: Add constraint to create guest LBR event without hw counter
Date:   Thu, 14 May 2020 16:30:47 +0800
Message-Id: <20200514083054.62538-5-like.xu@linux.intel.com>

The hypervisor may request the perf subsystem to schedule a time window
to directly access the LBR stack msrs for its own use. 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 it via
needs_guest_lbr_without_counter() and assigns it with a fake VLBR counter
with the help of new lbr_without_counter_constraint. As with the BTS event,
there is actually no hardware counter assigned for the guest LBR event.
