Currently, the SMIs are visible to all performance counters, because many users want to measure everything including SMIs. But in some cases, the SMI cycles should not be counted - for example, to calculate the cost of an SMI itself. So a knob is needed. When setting FREEZE_WHILE_SMM bit in IA32_DEBUGCTL, all performance counters will be effected. There is no way to do per-counter freeze on SMI. So it should not use the per-event interface (e.g. ioctl or event attribute) to set FREEZE_WHILE_SMM bit. Adds sysfs entry /sys/device/cpu/freeze_on_smi to set FREEZE_WHILE_SMM bit in IA32_DEBUGCTL. When set, freezes perfmon and trace messages while in SMM. Value has to be 0 or 1. It will be applied to all processors. Also serialize the entire setting so we don't get multiple concurrent threads trying to update to different values.
