[PATCH 5/6] perf/x86: Enable NMI source reporting for perfmon

From: Jacob Pan
Date: Wed May 29 2024 - 16:29:39 EST


Program the designated NMI source vector into the performance monitoring
interrupt (PMI) of the local vector table. PMI handler will be directly
invoked when its NMI is generated. This avoids the latency of calling all
NMI handlers blindly.
