Subject[PATCH v2 8/8] perf/x86/intel/lbr: add the guest_lbr boolean to cpuc
Date
From: Like Xu <like.xu@intel.com>

The host creates an lbr perf event for the guest vCPU only for the
purpose of saving/restoring the lbr stack on the vCPU context switching.
There is no need to enable the lbr functionality for this lbr perf event,
because the feature is essentially used in the vCPU.

So, we introduce the guest_lbr boolean control to cpuc, to indicate if
the lbr perf event is created for the guest. When the perf subsystem
handles this event (e.g. enable or read lbr stack on PMI) and finds it
is for the guest, it simply returns, because all we need for the perf
event is just a context switch support for the lbr stack.
