[PATCH v3 14/18] KVM: x86/pmu: Factor out fixed counter control bit calculation

From: Zide Chen

Date: Thu Nov 05 2026 - 20:56:34 EST


Rename intel_pmu_enable_fixed_counter_bits() to
intel_pmu_fixed_ctrl_bits() and have it return the computed fixed
counter control mask instead of updating fixed_ctr_ctrl_rsvd directly.

Accumulate the desired fixed counter control bits during PMU setup and
apply them once in intel_pmu_refresh().

Move the helper earlier in the file so it can also be reused for
upcoming ANYTHREAD_DEPRECATION emulation.

No functional change intended.
