Don't use a ternary here, the same conditional exists immediately below, i.e.
this can simply be:

u64 config;

if (pmc_is_gp(pmc)) {
config = pmc->eventsel;
select_os = config & ARCH_PERFMON_EVENTSEL_OS;
select_user = config & ARCH_PERFMON_EVENTSEL_USR;
} else {
config = fixed_ctrl_field(pmc_to_pmu(pmc)->fixed_ctr_ctrl,
pmc->idx - INTEL_PMC_IDX_FIXED);
select_os = config & 0x1;
select_user = config & 0x2;
}

Note, there's no need to cast to a u64; fixed_ctr_ctrl is a u64, and even if it
gets temporarily truncated to a u8, the relevant path only checks bits 0 and 1.

Given that everything else that accesses reprogram_pmi uses atomic accesses, please
make this atomic as well, i.e. use set_bit(). Even if reprogram_pmi is currently
guaranteed to be accessed only from the CPU that has loaded the vCPU (no idea if
that's true), I am planning on fixing the PMU filter (KVM doesn't force reprogramming
on filter changes) by setting all bits in reprogram_pmi from a separate CPU, at
which point this needs to be atomic.
