Subject: [PATCH RESEND v2 4/8] KVM: x86/pmu: Avoid using PEBS perf_events for normal counters

From: Like Xu <likexu@...cent.com>

The check logic in the pmc_resume_counter() to determine whether
a perf_event is reusable is partial and flawed, especially when it
comes to a pseudocode sequence (not correct but clearly valid) like:

  - enabling a counter and its PEBS bit
  - enable global_ctrl
  - run workload
  - disable only the PEBS bit, leaving the global_ctrl bit enabled

In this corner case, a perf_event created for PEBS can be reused by
a normal counter before it has been released and recreated, and when this
normal counter overflows, it triggers a PEBS interrupt (precise_ip != 0).

To address this issue, the reuse check has been revamped and KVM will
go back to do reprogram_counter() when any bit of guest PEBS_ENABLE
msr has changed, which is similar to what global_ctrl_changed() does.

Fixes: 79f3e3b58386 ("KVM: x86/pmu: Reprogram PEBS event to emulate guest PEBS counter")
