[PATCH v9 09/12] perf/x86: Add INTEL_TD_METRIC_FIELD_{BITS,MASK} constants

From: Zide Chen

Date: Fri Sep 18 2026 - 15:51:52 EST


Replace the hard coded field width (8) and the equivalent 0xff mask
used for PERF_METRICS MSR field access with named constants
INTEL_TD_METRIC_FIELD_{BITS,MASK}.

INTEL_TD_METRIC_FIELD_BITS will be used by a subsequent KVM patch to
validat reserved bits in the PERF_METRICS MSR.

No functional change intended.
