[PATCH v4 0/5] KVM: x86: Intel LBR related perf cleanups

[Sean Christopherson]

Fix a bug where KVM incorrectly advertises PMU_CAP_LBR_FMT to userspace if
perf has disabled LBRs, e.g. because probing one or more LBR MSRs during
setup hit a #GP.

The non-KVM patches remove unnecessary stubs and unreachable error paths,
which allows for a cleaner fix for said bug (backporting is unlikely to be
necessary/requested).

v4
 - Make vmx_get_perf_capabilities() non-inline to avoid references to
   x86_perf_get_lbr() when CPU_SUP_INTEL=n. [kernel test robot]

v3:
 - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220831000051.4015031-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx
 - Drop patches for bug #1 (already merged).
 - Drop misguided "clean up the capability check" patch. [Like]

v2:
 - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220803192658.860033-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx
 - Add patches to fix bug #2. [Like]
 - Add a patch to clean up the capability check.
 - Tweak the changelog for the PMU refresh bug fix to call out that
   KVM should disallow changing feature MSRs after KVM_RUN. [Like]

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220727233424.2968356-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx
