[PATCH v2 2/2] perf/x86/kvm: Avoid unnecessary work in guest filtering

[Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org>]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

KVM added a workaround for PEBS events leaking
into guests with 26a4f3c08de4 ("perf/x86: disable PEBS on a guest entry.")
This uses the VT entry/exit list to add an extra disable of the PEBS_ENABLE MSR.

Intel also added a fix for this issue to microcode updates on
Haswell/Broadwell/Skylake.

It turns out using the MSR entry/exit list makes VM exits
significantly slower. The list is only needed for disabling
PEBS, because the GLOBAL_CTRL change gets optimized by
KVM into changing the VMCS.

Check for the microcode updates that have the microcode
fix for leaking PEBS, and disable the extra entry/exit list
entry for PEBS_ENABLE. In addition we always clear the
GLOBAL_CTRL for the PEBS counter while running in the guest,
which is enough to make them never fire at the wrong
side of the host/guest transition.

We see significantly reduced overhead for VM exits with the
filtering active with the patch from 8% to 4%.

v2:
Use match_ucode, not match_ucode_all
Remove cpu lock
Use INTEL_MIN_UCODE and move to header
Update Table to include skylake clients.
