perf/x86/intel: Add missing branch counters constraint apply
When running the command:
'perf record -e "{instructions,instructions:p}" -j any,counter sleep 1',
a "shift-out-of-bounds" warning is reported on CWF.
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in /kbuild/src/consumer/arch/x86/events/intel/lbr.c:970:15
shift exponent 64 is too large for 64-bit type 'long long unsigned int'
......
intel_pmu_lbr_counters_reorder.isra.0.cold+0x2a/0xa7
intel_pmu_lbr_save_brstack+0xc0/0x4c0
setup_arch_pebs_sample_data+0x114b/0x2400
The warning occurs because the second "instructions:p" event, which
involves branch counters sampling, is incorrectly programmed to fixed
counter 0 instead of the general-purpose (GP) counters 0-3 that support
branch counters sampling. Currently only GP counters 0-3 support branch
counters sampling on CWF, any event involving branch counters sampling
should be programed on GP counters 0-3. Since the counter index of fixed
counter 0 is 32, it leads to the "src" value in below code is right
shifted 64 bits and trigger the "shift-out-of-bounds" warning.
cnt = (src >> (order[j] * LBR_INFO_BR_CNTR_BITS)) & LBR_INFO_BR_CNTR_MASK;
The root cause is the loss of the branch counters constraint for the
new event in the branch counters sampling event group. Since it isn't
yet part of the sibling list. This results in the second
"instructions:p" event being programmed on fixed counter 0 incorrectly
instead of the appropriate GP counters 0-3.
To address this, we apply the missing branch counters constraint for
the last event in the group. Additionally, we introduce a new function,
`intel_set_branch_counter_constr()`, to apply the branch counters
constraint and avoid code duplication.
