Subject: Re: [RFC] perf_events: how to add Intel LBR support

OK, so I poked at the LBR hardware a bit, sadly the TOS really doesn't
count beyond the few bits it requires :-(

I had hopes it would, since that would make it easier to share the LBR,
simply take a TOS snapshot when you schedule the counter in, and never
roll back further for that particular counter.

As it stands we'll have to wipe the full LBR state every time we 'touch'
it, which makes it less useful for cpu-bound counters.

Also, not all hw (core and pentium-m) supports the freeze_lbrs_on_pmi
bit, what we could do for those is stick an unconditional LBR disable
very early in the NMI path and simply roll back the stack until we hit a
branch into the NMI vector, that should leave a few usable LBR entries.

For AMD and P6 there is only a single LBR record, AMD seems to freeze
the thing on #DB traps but the PMI isn't qualified as one afaict,
rendering the single entry useless (didn't look at the P6 details).

hackery below..
