Two qemu patches are attached against qemu tree
(commit 31ee895047bdcf7387e3570cbd2a473c6f744b08)
and then run the guest with "-cpu,pebs=true".

Note, this two patch are just for test and not finalized for qemu upstream.

Yes, it's the target hardware.

Yes, you may apply the qemu patches and try it again.

No, lbr ane pebs are two features and we enable it separately.

We don't need that patch for PEBS feature.

- At least you need to pin guest memory such as "-overcommit mem-lock=true"
for qemu
- You may rewrite the patches 13 - 17 for Skylake specific because the
records format is different with Ice Lake.

You may try it at your risk and again,
this patch set doesn't support guest PEBS on the Skylake platforms currently.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] target/i386: Expose PEBS capabilities in the
FEAT_PERF_CAPABILITIES

The IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES MSR provides enumeration of a variety of
PEBS feature interfaces:

- PEBSTrap[6]: Trap/Fault-like indicator of PEBS recording assist;
- PEBSArchRegs[7]: Indicator of PEBS assist save architectural registers;
- PEBS_FMT[bits 11:8]: Specifies the encoding of the layout of PEBS records;
- PEBS_BASELINE [bit 14]: If set, the following is true:
(1) Extended PEBS is supported. All counters support the PEBS facility,
and all events can generate PEBS records when PEBS is enabled.
(2) Adaptive PEBS is supported. The PEBS_DATA_CFG MSR and adaptive record
enable bits are supported.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] target/i386: add -cpu,pebs=true support to enable guest
PEBS

The PEBS feature would be enabled on the guest if:
- the KVM is enabled and the PMU is enabled and,
- the msr-based-feature IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES is supporterd and,
- the supported returned value for PEBS from this msr is not zero.

The PEBS feature would be disabled on the guest if:
- the msr-based-feature IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES is unsupporterd OR,
- qemu set the IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES msr feature without pebs_fmt values OR,
- the requested guest vcpu model doesn't support PDCM.
