[PATCH v2] perf/x86/amd: support capturing LBR from software events

[Andrii Nakryiko]

[0] added ability to capture LBR (Last Branch Records) on Intel CPUs
from inside BPF program at pretty much any arbitrary point. This is
extremely useful capability that allows to figure out otherwise
hard-to-debug problems, because LBR is now available based on some
application-defined conditions, not just hardware-supported events.

retsnoop ([1]) is one such tool that takes a huge advantage of this
functionality and has proved to be an extremely useful tool in
practice.

Now, AMD Zen4 CPUs got support for similar LBR functionality, but
necessary wiring inside the kernel is not yet setup. This patch seeks to
rectify this and follows a similar approach to the original patch [0]
for Intel CPUs.

Given LBR can be set up to capture any indirect jumps, it's critical to
minimize indirect jumps on the way to requesting LBR from BPF program,
so we split amd_pmu_lbr_disable_all() into a wrapper with some generic
conditions vs always-inlined __amd_pmu_lbr_disable() called directly
from BPF subsystem (through perf_snapshot_branch_stack static call).

Now that it's possible to capture LBR on AMD CPU from BPF at arbitrary
point, there is no reason to artificially limit this feature to sampling
events. So corresponding check is removed. AFAIU, there is no
correctness implications of doing this (and it was possible to bypass
this check by just setting perf_event's sample_period to 1 anyways, so
it doesn't guard all that much).

This was tested on AMD Bergamo CPU and worked well when utilized from
the aforementioned retsnoop tool.
