[PATCH v11 03/11] perf/x86/lbr: Add interface to get basic information about LBR stack

From: Like Xu
Date: Thu May 14 2020 - 04:31:31 EST


The LBR stack msrs are model specific. The perf subsystem has already
obtained the LBR stack base addresses based on the cpu model.

Therefore, an interface is added to allow callers outside the perf
subsystem to obtain the LBR stack base addresses. It's useful for
hypervisors to emulate the LBR feature for guests with less code.
