The test is inspired by the pmu_event_filter_test which implemented by x86. On the arm64 platform, there is the same ability to set the pmu_event_filter through the KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_FILTER attribute. So add the test for arm64.
The series first create the helper function which can be used for the vpmu related tests. Then, it implement the test.
Changelog: ---------- v6->v7: - Rebased to v6.9-rc3.
v5->v6: - Rebased to v6.9-rc1. - Collect RB. - Add multiple filter test.
v4->v5: - Rebased to v6.8-rc6. - Refactor the helper function, make it fine-grained and easy to be used. - Namimg improvements. - Use the kvm_device_attr_set() helper. - Make the test descriptor array readable and clean. - Delete the patch which moves the pmu related helper to vpmu.h. - Remove the kvm_supports_pmu_event_filter() function since nobody will run this on a old kernel.
v3->v4: - Rebased to the v6.8-rc2.
v2->v3: - Check the pmceid in guest code instead of pmu event count since different hardware may have different event count result, check pmceid makes it stable on different platform. [Eric] - Some typo fixed and commit message improved.
v1->v2: - Improve the commit message. [Eric] - Fix the bug in [enable|disable]_counter. [Raghavendra & Marc] - Add the check if kvm has attr KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_FILTER. - Add if host pmu support the test event throught pmceid0. - Split the test_invalid_filter() to another patch. [Eric]
