Revision e644896f5106aa3f6d7e8c7adf2e4dc0fce53555 authored by Like Xu on 09 March 2022, 08:42:57 UTC, committed by Paolo Bonzini on 02 April 2022, 09:34:46 UTC
HSW_IN_TX* bits are used in generic code which are not supported on
AMD. Worse, these bits overlap with AMD EventSelect[11:8] and hence
using HSW_IN_TX* bits unconditionally in generic code is resulting in
unintentional pmu behavior on AMD. For example, if EventSelect[11:8]
is 0x2, pmc_reprogram_counter() wrongly assumes that
HSW_IN_TX_CHECKPOINTED is set and thus forces sampling period to be 0.

Also per the SDM, both bits 32 and 33 "may only be set if the processor
supports HLE or RTM" and for "IN_TXCP (bit 33): this bit may only be set
for IA32_PERFEVTSEL2."

Opportunistically eliminate code redundancy, because if the HSW_IN_TX*
bit is set in pmc->eventsel, it is already set in attr.config.
