[PATCH v8 07/14] perf/x86: support to create a perf event without counter allocation
From: Wei Wang
Date: Tue Aug 06 2019 - 04:06:52 EST
Hypervisors may create an lbr event for a vcpu's lbr emulation, and the
emulation doesn't need a counter fundamentally. This makes the emulation
follow the x86 SDM's description about lbr, which doesn't include a
counter, and also avoids wasting a counter.
The perf scheduler is supported to not assign a counter for a perf event
which doesn't need a counter. Define a macro, X86_PMC_IDX_NA, to replace
"-1", which represents a never assigned counter id.
