The perf PMI handler, intel_pmu_handle_irq(), currently does
unnecessary MSR accesses for PEBS_ENABLE MSR in
__intel_pmu_enable/disable_all() when PEBS is enabled.
When entering the handler, global ctrl is explicitly disabled. All
counters do not count anymore. It doesn't matter if PEBS is enabled
or not in a PMI handler.
Furthermore, for most cases, the cpuc->pebs_enabled is not changed in
PMI. The PEBS status doesn't change. The PEBS_ENABLE MSR doesn't need to
be changed either when exiting the handler.
PMI throttle may change the PEBS status during PMI handler. The
x86_pmu_stop() ends up in intel_pmu_pebs_disable() which can update
cpuc->pebs_enabled. But the MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE is not updated
at the same time. Because the cpuc->enabled has been forced to 0.
The patch explicitly update the MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE for this case.
Use ftrace to measure the duration of intel_pmu_handle_irq() on BDX.
