[Patch v9 10/24] perf/x86/intel: Consolidate PMU capability updates
From: Dapeng Mi
Date: Sun Jul 05 2026 - 22:06:25 EST
Currently, the PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS capability is set in two
different places: intel_ds_pebs_init() and __intel_update_pmu_caps()
for adaptive and architectural PEBS. The upcoming XSAVES-based SIMD
register sampling will also require setting and validating this
capability. Managing it across multiple locations introduces
unnecessary complexity and potential conflicts.
To centralize and simplify the PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS logic,
consolidate its initialization into a single helper function,
__intel_update_pmu_xregs_caps(), handling both adaptive and
architectural PEBS.
Additionally, optimize the capability update paths by moving the
initialization of intel_cap.capabilities out of the update_pmu_cap()
helper. The helper is guarded by archPerfmonExt support, whereas
intel_cap.capabilities is independent of it.
Finally, introduce a new wrapper function, intel_update_pmu_caps(),
to cleanly encapsulate all these PMU capability updates.
