Linux architectural perf events, e.g., cycles and instructions, usually
have dedicated fixed counters. These events also have equivalent events
which can be used in the general-purpose counters. The counters are
precious. In the intel_pmu_check_event_constraints(), perf check/extend
the event constraints of these events. So these events can utilize both
fixed counters and general-purpose counters.
The following cleanup commit:
97588df ("perf/x86/intel: Add common intel_pmu_init_hybrid()")
forgot adding the intel_pmu_check_event_constraints() into update_pmu_cap().
The architectural perf events cannot utilize the general-purpose counters.
The code to check and update the counters, event constraints and
extra_regs is the same among hybrid systems. Move
intel_pmu_check_hybrid_pmus() to init_hybrid_pmu(), and
emove the duplicate check in update_pmu_cap().
Fixes: 97588df ("perf/x86/intel: Add common intel_pmu_init_hybrid()")
