perf/x86/intel: Support RDPMC metrics clear mode
The new RDPMC enhancement, metrics clear mode, is to clear the PERF_METRICS-related resources as well as the fixed-function performance monitoring counter 3 after the read is performed. It is available for ring 3. The feature is enumerated by the IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES.RDPMC_CLEAR_METRICS[bit 19]. To enable the feature, the IA32_FIXED_CTR_CTRL.METRICS_CLEAR_EN[bit 14] must be set. Two ways were considered to enable the feature. - Expose a knob in the sysfs globally. One user may affect the measurement of other users when changing the knob. The solution is dropped. - Introduce a new event format, metrics_clear, for the slots event to disable/enable the feature only for the current process. Users can utilize the feature as needed. The latter solution is implemented in the patch. The current KVM doesn't support the perf metrics yet. For virtualization, the feature can be enabled later separately.
