After commit ("02791a5c362b KVM: x86/pmu: Use PERF_TYPE_RAW
to merge reprogram_{gp,fixed}counter()"), vPMU starts to directly
use the hardware event eventsel and unit_mask to reprogram perf_event,
and the event_type field in the "struct kvm_event_hw_type_mapping"
is simply no longer being used.

After discarding this field, the name of the structure also lost
its mapping semantics, renaming it "struct kvm_pmu_hw_event" and
reorganizing the comments to continue to help newcomers.

The only user of the struct is the array, just make it anonymous struct and
constify the array.  No need to send a v2, I'll fixup when applying.

*sigh*

This made me actually look at all the code, and it just about broke my WTF-o-meter.
The fragility of this code is mind-bogglingly unnecessary.  Instead of adding a
comment to document magic numbers, express that information in code.

E.g. there's zero excuses for us to have code like this

	static int fixed_pmc_events[] = {1, 0, 7};

and this

	/* disable event that reported as not present by cpuid */
	if ((i < 7) && !(pmu->available_event_types & (1 << i)))
		return false;

I'll post patches to clean this up so that we have the following, which is (a)
self-documenting and (b) won't break or require updating magic numbers when the
next architectural event comes along.


enum intel_pmu_architectural_events {
	/*
	 * The order of the architectural events matters as support for each
	 * event is enumerated via CPUID using the index of the event.
	 */
	INTEL_ARCH_CPU_CYCLES,
	INTEL_ARCH_INSTRUCTIONS_RETIRED,
	INTEL_ARCH_REFERENCE_CYCLES,
	INTEL_ARCH_LLC_REFERNCES,
	INTEL_ARCH_LLC_MISSES,
	INTEL_ARCH_BRANCHES_RETIRED,
	INTEL_ARCH_BRANCHES_MISPREDICTED,

	NR_INTEL_ARCH_EVENTS,

	/*
	 * Pseudo-architectural event used to implement IA32_FIXED_CTR2, a.k.a.
	 * TSC reference cycles.  The architectural reference cycles event may
	 * or may not actually use the TSC as the reference, e.g. might use the
	 * core crystal clock or the bus clock (yeah, "architectural").
	 */
	PSEUDO_ARCH_REFERENCE_CYCLES = NR_INTEL_ARCH_EVENTS,
};

static struct {
	u8 eventsel;
	u8 unit_mask;
} const intel_arch_events[] = {
	[INTEL_ARCH_CPU_CYCLES]			= { 0x3c, 0x00 },
	[INTEL_ARCH_INSTRUCTIONS_RETIRED]	= { 0xc0, 0x00 },
	[INTEL_ARCH_REFERENCE_CYCLES]		= { 0x3c, 0x01 },
	[INTEL_ARCH_LLC_REFERNCES] 		= { 0x2e, 0x4f },
	[INTEL_ARCH_LLC_MISSES]			= { 0x2e, 0x41 },
	[INTEL_ARCH_BRANCHES_RETIRED]		= { 0xc4, 0x00 },
	[INTEL_ARCH_BRANCHES_MISPREDICTED]	= { 0xc5, 0x00 },
	[PSEUDO_ARCH_REFERENCE_CYCLES]		= { 0x00, 0x03 },
};

/* mapping between fixed pmc index and intel_arch_events array */
static int fixed_pmc_events[] = {
	[0] = INTEL_ARCH_INSTRUCTIONS_RETIRED,
	[1] = INTEL_ARCH_CPU_CYCLES,
	[2] = PSEUDO_ARCH_REFERENCE_CYCLES,
};

Applied to kvm-x86 pmu, thanks!
