x86/perf/amd: Resolve NMI latency issues for active PMCs

commit 6d3edaae16c6c7d238360f2841212c2b26774d5e upstream.

On AMD processors, the detection of an overflowed PMC counter in the NMI
handler relies on the current value of the PMC. So, for example, to check
for overflow on a 48-bit counter, bit 47 is checked to see if it is 1 (not
overflowed) or 0 (overflowed).

When the perf NMI handler executes it does not know in advance which PMC
counters have overflowed. As such, the NMI handler will process all active
PMC counters that have overflowed. NMI latency in newer AMD processors can
result in multiple overflowed PMC counters being processed in one NMI and
then a subsequent NMI, that does not appear to be a back-to-back NMI, not
finding any PMC counters that have overflowed. This may appear to be an
unhandled NMI resulting in either a panic or a series of messages,
depending on how the kernel was configured.

To mitigate this issue, add an AMD handle_irq callback function,
amd_pmu_handle_irq(), that will invoke the common x86_pmu_handle_irq()
function and upon return perform some additional processing that will
indicate if the NMI has been handled or would have been handled had an
earlier NMI not handled the overflowed PMC. Using a per-CPU variable, a
minimum value of the number of active PMCs or 2 will be set whenever a
PMC is active. This is used to indicate the possible number of NMIs that
can still occur. The value of 2 is used for when an NMI does not arrive
at the LAPIC in time to be collapsed into an already pending NMI. Each
time the function is called without having handled an overflowed counter,
the per-CPU value is checked. If the value is non-zero, it is decremented
and the NMI indicates that it handled the NMI. If the value is zero, then
the NMI indicates that it did not handle the NMI.
