[PATCH 1/1] perf/x86: filter branches for PEBS event

[kan . liang]

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxx>

For supporting Intel LBR branches filtering, Intel LBR sharing logic
mechanism is introduced from commit b36817e88630 ("perf/x86: Add Intel
LBR sharing logic"). It modifies __intel_shared_reg_get_constraints to
config lbr_sel, which is finally used to set LBR_SELECT.
However, the intel_shared_regs_constraints is called after
intel_pebs_constraints. The PEBS event will return immediately after
intel_pebs_constraints. So it's impossible to filter branches for PEBS
event.

This patch move intel_shared_regs_constraints for branch_reg ahead of
intel_pebs_constraints.
intel_shared_regs_constraints for branch_reg doesn't modify event->hw,
so it's safe to be called before intel_pebs_constraints.
intel_shared_regs_constraints for branch_reg also special case when it
returns &emptyconstraint. It put constraints for extra_reg. This patch
remove it. Because it will never get constraints for extra_reg if return
is &emptyconstraint.
