[RFC PATCH v2 2/3] perf/x86/intel/pt: Introduce and export pt_get_curr_event()

From: Xiaoyao Li
Date: Wed Sep 21 2022 - 12:50:56 EST


KVM supports PT_MODE_HOST_GUEST mode for Intel PT where host and guest
have separate Intel PT configurations and they work independently.

Currently, in this mode, when both host and guest enable PT, KVM manually
clears MSR_IA32_RTIT_CTL.TRACEEN to disable host PT so that it can
context switch the other PT MSRs. However, PT PMI can be delivered after
this point and before the VM-entry. As a result, the re-enabling of PT
leads to VM-entry failure of guest.

To solve the problem, introduce and export pt_get_curr_event() for KVM
to get current pt event. Along with perf_event_{dis, en}able_local(),
With them, KVM can avoid PT re-enabling in PT PMI handler.
