perf/x86/amd/core: Add PerfMonV2 counter control
If AMD Performance Monitoring Version 2 (PerfMonV2) is supported, use a new scheme to manage the Core PMCs using the new global control and status registers. This will be bypassed on unsupported hardware (x86_pmu.version < 2). Currently, all PMCs have dedicated control (PERF_CTL) and counter (PERF_CTR) registers. For a given PMC, the enable (En) bit of its PERF_CTL register is used to start or stop counting. The Performance Counter Global Control (PerfCntrGlobalCtl) register has enable (PerfCntrEn) bits for each PMC. For a PMC to start counting, both PERF_CTL and PerfCntrGlobalCtl enable bits must be set. If either of those are cleared, the PMC stops counting. In x86_pmu_{en,dis}able_all(), the PERF_CTL registers of all active PMCs are written to in a loop. Ideally, PMCs counting the same event that were started and stopped at the same time should record the same counts. Due to delays in between writes to the PERF_CTL registers across loop iterations, the PMCs cannot be enabled or disabled at the same instant and hence, record slightly different counts. This is fixed by enabling or disabling all active PMCs at the same time with a single write to the PerfCntrGlobalCtl register.
