The previous model-specific LBR and Architecture LBR (legacy way) use a similar method to save/restore the LBR information, which directly accesses the LBR registers. The codes which read/write a set of LBR registers can be shared between them. Factor out two functions which are used to read/write a set of LBR registers. Add lbr_info into structure x86_pmu, and use it to replace the hardcoded LBR INFO MSR, because the LBR INFO MSR address of the previous model-specific LBR is different from Architecture LBR. The MSR address should be assigned at boot time. For now, only Sky Lake and later platforms have the LBR INFO MSR.

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.
