[PATCH v8 2/8] KVM: x86/pmu: Support Intel fixed counter 3 on mediated vPMU

From: Dapeng Mi <[email protected]>

Starting with Ice Lake, Intel introduced fixed counter 3, which counts
TOPDOWN.SLOTS - the number of available slots for an unhalted logical
processor.  It serves as the denominator for top-level metrics in the
Top-down Microarchitecture Analysis method.

Emulating this counter on legacy vPMU would require introducing a new
generic perf encoding for the Intel-specific TOPDOWN.SLOTS event in
order to call perf_get_hw_event_config().  This is undesirable as it
would pollute the generic perf event encoding.

Moreover, KVM does not intend to emulate IA32_PERF_METRICS in the
legacy vPMU model, and without IA32_PERF_METRICS, emulating this
counter has little practical value.  Therefore, expose fixed counter
3 to guests only when mediated vPMU is enabled.

v6:
- Update comments to replace 2 with KVM_MAX_NR_INTEL_FIXED_COUNTERS - 1.
v3:
- Move the non-contiguous counter filter code to pmu.c
v2:
- Don't advertise fixed counter 3 to userspace if the host doesn't
  support it.
