[PATCH v4 0/2] perf/x86/amd: Fix for LBR Freeze

From: Sandipan Das
Date: Tue Mar 19 2024 - 04:18:44 EST


Contains a fix for usage of LBR Freeze.

Previous versions can be found at:
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1706526029.git.sandipan.das@xxxxxxx/
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1704103399.git.sandipan.das@xxxxxxx/
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1702833179.git.sandipan.das@xxxxxxx/

Changes in v4:
- Move scattered feature bits from CPUID 0x80000022[EAX] to a dedicated
word as suggested by Ingo.
- Remove patches that have been merged (patch 2 and 3 from v3).

Changes in v3:
- As suggested by Boris, update the commit message of the first patch
with the reason behind making the LBR and PMC Freeze feature bit
visible in /proc/cpuinfo.

Changes in v2:
- Make the LBR and PMC Freeze feature bit visible in /proc/cpuinfo. As
suggested by Stephane, this will be useful to determine if it is
feasible to perform kernel FDO on a system.
