[PATCH V2] perf/x86/intel: Apply mid ACK for small core

From: kan . liang

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

A warning as below may be occasionally triggered in an ADL machine when
these conditions occur,
- Two perf record commands run one by one. Both record a PEBS event.
- Both runs on small cores.
- They have different adaptive PEBS configuration (PEBS_DATA_CFG).

Different from the big core, the small core requires the ACK right
before re-enabling counters in the NMI handler, otherwise a stale PEBS
record may be dumped into the later NMI handler, which trigger the
warning.

Add a new mid_ack flag to track the case. Add all PMI handler bits in
the struct x86_hybrid_pmu to track the bits for different types of PMUs.
Apply mid ACK for the small cores on an Alder Lake machine.

The existing hybrid() macro has a compile error when taking address of a
bit-field variable. Add a new macro hybrid_bit() to get the bit-field
value of a given PMU.

The V1 patch set can be found at
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1625774073-153697-1-git-send-email-kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Changes since v1:
- Introduce mid ACK. The early ACK in V1 may trigger other issue based
on the latest test result.
- Add comments regarding early, mid and late ACK.
