[PATCH V4 4/6] perf/x86/lbr: Fix shorter LBRs call stacks for the system-wide mode

[kan . liang]

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In the system-wide mode, LBR callstacks are shorter in comparison to
the per-process mode.

LBR MSRs are reset during a context switch in the system-wide mode. For
the LBR call stack, the LBRs should be always saved/restored during a
context switch.

Use the space in task_struct to save/restore the LBR call stack data.

For a system-wide event, it's unnecessagy to update the
lbr_callstack_users for each threads. Add a variable in x86_pmu to
indicate whether the system-wide event is active.

Fixes: 76cb2c617f12 ("perf/x86/intel: Save/restore LBR stack during context switch")
