perf/x86/intel/lbr: Factor out intel_pmu_store_lbr
The way to store the LBR information from a PEBS LBR record can be
reused in Architecture LBR, because
- The LBR information is stored like a stack. Entry 0 is always the
youngest branch.
- The layout of the LBR INFO MSR is similar.
The LBR information may be retrieved from either the LBR registers
(non-PEBS event) or a buffer (PEBS event). Extend rdlbr_*() to support
both methods.
Explicitly check the invalid entry (0s), which can avoid unnecessary MSR
access if using a non-PEBS event. For a PEBS event, the check should
slightly improve the performance as well. The invalid entries are cut.
The intel_pmu_lbr_filter() doesn't need to check and filter them out.
Cannot share the function with current model-specific LBR read, because
the direction of the LBR growth is opposite.
