Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86: descriptive failure messages for PMU init
There's a default warning message that gets printed, however,
there are various failure conditions:
- a msr read can fail
- a msr write can fail
- a msr has an unexpected value
- all msrs have unexpected values (disable PMU)
Also, commit commit 005bd0077a79 ("perf/x86: Modify error message in
virtualized environment") completely removed printing the msr in
question but these messages could be helpful for debugging vPMUs as
well. Add them back and change them to pr_debugs, this keeps the
behavior the same for baremetal.
Lastly, use %llx to silence checkpatch
