There is a fairly long list of grievances about the current code. The
main beefs:
1. hybrid_big_small assumes that the *HARDWARE* (CPUID) provided
core types are a bitmap. They are not. If Intel happened to
make a core type of 0xff, hilarity would ensue.
2. adl_get_hybrid_cpu_type() utterly inscrutable. There are
precisely zero comments and zero changelog about what it is
attempting to do.
According to Kan, the adl_get_hybrid_cpu_type() is there because some
Alder Lake (ADL) CPUs can do some silly things. Some ADL models are
*supposed* to be hybrid CPUs with big and little cores, but there are
some SKUs that only have big cores. CPUID(0x1a) on those CPUs does
not say that the CPUs are big cores. It apparently just returns 0x0.
It confuses perf because it expects to see either 0x40 (Core) or
0x20 (Atom).
The perf workaround for this is to watch for a CPU core saying it is
type 0x0. If that happens on an Alder Lake, it calls
x86_pmu.get_hybrid_cpu_type() and just assumes that the core is a
Core (0x40) CPU.
To fix up the mess, separate out the CPU types and the 'pmu' types.
This allows 'hybrid_pmu_type' bitmaps without worrying that some
future CPU type will set multiple bits.
Since the types are now separate, add a function to glue them back
together again. Actual comment on the situation in the glue
function (find_hybrid_pmu_for_cpu()).
Also, give ->get_hybrid_cpu_type() a real return type and make it
clear that it is overriding the *CPU* type, not the PMU type.
Rename cpu_type to pmu_type in the struct x86_hybrid_pmu to reflect the
change.
