perf/x86/amd/core: Add PerfMonV2 overflow handling
If AMD Performance Monitoring Version 2 (PerfMonV2) is supported, use a new scheme to process Core PMC overflows in the NMI handler using the new global control and status registers. This will be bypassed on unsupported hardware (x86_pmu.version < 2). In x86_pmu_handle_irq(), overflows are detected by testing the contents of the PERF_CTR register for each active PMC in a loop. The new scheme instead inspects the overflow bits of the global status register. The Performance Counter Global Status (PerfCntrGlobalStatus) register has overflow (PerfCntrOvfl) bits for each PMC. This is, however, a read-only MSR. To acknowledge that overflows have been processed, the NMI handler must clear the bits by writing to the PerfCntrGlobalStatusClr register. In x86_pmu_handle_irq(), PMCs counting the same event that are started and stopped at the same time record slightly different counts due to delays in between reads from the PERF_CTR registers. This is fixed by stopping and starting the PMCs at the same before and with a single write to the Performance Counter Global Control (PerfCntrGlobalCtl) upon entering and before exiting the NMI handler.
