[PATCH v3 14/15] perf/x86: Simplify Intel PMU initialization

From: Sohil Mehta
Date: Wed Feb 19 2025 - 14:33:23 EST


Architectural Perfmon was introduced on the Family 6 "Core" processors
starting with Yonah. Processors before Yonah need their own customized
PMU initialization.

p6_pmu_init() is expected to provide that initialization for early
Family 6 processors. But, due to the unrestricted call to p6_pmu_init(),
it could get called for any Family 6 processor if the architectural
perfmon feature is disabled on that processor.

To simplify, restrict the call to p6_pmu_init() to early Family 6
processors that do not have architectural perfmon support. As a result,
the "unsupported" console print becomes practically unreachable because
all the released P6 processors are covered by the switch cases.

Move the console print to a common location where it can cover all
modern processors that do not have architectural perfmon support.

Also, use this opportunity to get rid of the unnecessary switch cases in
p6_pmu_init(). Only the Pentium Pro processor needs a quirk, and the
rest of the processors do not need any special handling. The gaps in the
case numbers are only due to no processor with those model numbers being
released.

Converting to a VFM based check gets rid of one last few Intel x86_model
comparisons.

v3: Restrict calling p6_pmu_init() to only when needed.
Move the console print to a common location.

v2: No change.
