Refactor the handling of the reprogramming bitmap to snapshot and clear to-be-processed bits before doing the reprogramming, and then explicitly set bits for PMCs that need to be reprogrammed (again). This will allow adding a macro to iterate over all valid PMCs without having to add special handling for the reprogramming bit, which (a) can have bits set for non-existent PMCs and (b) needs to clear such bits to avoid wasting cycles in perpetuity. Note, the existing behavior of clearing bits after reprogramming does NOT have a race with kvm_vm_ioctl_set_pmu_event_filter(). Setting a new PMU filter synchronizes SRCU _before_ setting the bitmap, i.e. guarantees that the vCPU isn't in the middle of reprogramming with a stale filter prior to setting the bitmap.

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.
