[PATCH v3 0/3] perf/x86/amd: Miscellaneous fixes

From: Sandipan Das
Date: Mon Jan 29 2024 - 06:07:07 EST


Contains fixes w.r.t usage of LBR Freeze, Erratum 1452 and a bug in the
CPU offline path where PMU-related registers are reset.

Previous versions can be found at:
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1704103399.git.sandipan.das@xxxxxxx/
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1702833179.git.sandipan.das@xxxxxxx/

Changes in v3:
- As suggested by Boris, update the commit message of the first patch
with the reason behind making the LBR and PMC Freeze feature bit
visible in /proc/cpuinfo.

Changes in v2:
- Make the LBR and PMC Freeze feature bit visible in /proc/cpuinfo. As
suggested by Stephane, this will be useful to determine if it is
feasible to perform kernel FDO on a system.

Sandipan Das (3):
perf/x86/amd/lbr: Use freeze based on availability
perf/x86/amd/lbr: Discard erroneous branch entries
perf/x86/amd/core: Avoid register reset when CPU is dead
