The select&umask is the common way for x86 to identify the PMU event,
so support this way as the "x86-default" format in kvm-pmu-filter
object.

umask is extended to 16 bits from Perfmon v6+. Please notice we need to
upgrade this to 16 bits in the future. More details can be found here.

It's tricky...now I referred the RAW_EVENT format in tools/testing/
selftests/kvm/include/x86_64/pmu.h, which is used in KVM PMU and is
compatible with AMD and Intel.

The current KVM PMU filter for raw code doesn't define the layout in
the standard API like masked entries (KVM_PMU_ENCODE_MASKED_ENTRY), but
actually uses the RAW_EVENT format. So I even plan to move RAW_EVENT
macro into arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h...

For the changes you mentioned, I think it would be better for the raw
code layout design not to break RAW_EVENT, so that AMD and Intel can
equally use the same macro to encode. Is it possible for a unified
layout macro?

What about extending RAW_EVENT as the following example? I understand
the umask2 is at bit 40-47.

#define X86_PMU_RAW_EVENT(eventsel, umask) (((eventsel & 0xf00UL) << 24) | \
                                            ((eventsel) & 0xff) | \
                                            ((umask) & 0xff) << 8) | \
					    ((umask & 0xff00UL << 32)

Thanks,
Zhao

For the raw event format, I suppose user should know the event layout and
would directly input the raw event code, qemu may not concern this.

It's always good if Intel and AMD can share same event layout, the extended
umask field occupies bits [40:47]. So I think we'd better follow this for
the RAW_EVENT as well.
