[PATCH 09/15] perf/x86: Remove num_counters_{gp,fixed} from x86_pmu_capability

From: Zide Chen

Date: Tue Jul 07 2026 - 14:48:49 EST


From: Dapeng Mi <dapeng1.mi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Now that KVM has switched to bitmap-based PMU capabilities,
num_counters_{gp,fixed} can be removed from x86_pmu_capability.
