When a guest wants to use the LBR registers, its hypervisor creates a guest LBR event and let host perf schedules it. The LBR records msrs are accessible to the guest when its guest LBR event is scheduled on by the perf subsystem. Before scheduling this event out, we should avoid host changes on IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR or LBR_SELECT. Otherwise, some unexpected branch operations may interfere with guest behavior, pollute LBR records, and even cause host branches leakage. In addition, the read operation on host is also avoidable. To ensure that guest LBR records are not lost during the context switch, the guest LBR event would enable the callstack mode which could save/restore guest unread LBR records with the help of intel_pmu_lbr_sched_task() naturally. However, the guest LBR_SELECT may changes for its own use and the host LBR event doesn't save/restore it. To ensure that we doesn't lost the guest LBR_SELECT value when the guest LBR event is running, the vlbr_constraint is bound up with a new constraint flag PERF_X86_EVENT_LBR_SELECT.
