Subject: [PATCH V2 09/11] target/i386: Refactor LBR format handling
Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2026 15:09:46 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260128231003.268981-10-zide.chen@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260128231003.268981-1-zide.chen@intel.com>
Detach x86_cpu_pmu_realize() from x86_cpu_realizefn() to keep the latter
focused and easier to follow. Introduce a dedicated helper,
x86_cpu_apply_lbr_pebs_fmt(), in preparation for adding PEBS format
support without duplicating code.
Convert PERF_CAP_LBR_FMT into separate mask and shift macros to allow
x86_cpu_apply_lbr_pebs_fmt() to be shared with PEBS format handling.
No functional change intended
