Access PMU counters on AMD by directly indexing the array of general purpose counters instead of translating the PMC index to an MSR index. AMD only supports gp counters, there's no need to translate a PMC index to an MSR index and back to a PMC index. Opportunistically apply array_index_nospec() to reduce the attack surface for speculative execution and remove the dead code.

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.
