Like Xu 4c58d922c0 perf/x86/intel: Fix PEBS-via-PT reload base value for Extended PEBS
If we use the "PEBS-via-PT" feature on a platform that supports
extended PBES, like this:

    perf record -c 10000 \
    -e '{intel_pt/branch=0/,branch-instructions/aux-output/p}' uname

we will encounter the following call trace:

This is because the target reload msr address is calculated
based on the wrong base msr and the target reload msr value
is accessed from ds->pebs_event_reset[] with the wrong offset.

According to Intel SDM Table 2-14, for extended PBES feature,
the reload msr for MSR_IA32_FIXED_CTRx should be based on
MSR_RELOAD_FIXED_CTRx.

For fixed counters, let's fix it by overriding the reload msr
address and its value, thus avoiding out-of-bounds access.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
