[PATCH V6 14/17] perf, x86: disable FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI when LBR operates in callstack mode

[Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com>]

LBR callstack is designed for PEBS, It does not work well with
FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI for non PEBS event. If FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI is set for
non PEBS event, PMIs near call/return instructions may cause superfluous
increase/decrease of LBR_TOS.

This patch modifies __intel_pmu_lbr_enable() to not enable
FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI when LBR operates in callstack mode. We currently
don't use LBR callstack to capture kernel space callchain, so disabling
FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI should not be a problem.
