[PATCH v4 24/24] x86/process: Reset hardware history in context switch

[Ricardo Neri <ricardo.neri-calderon@linux.intel.com>]

Reset the classification history of the current task when switching to the
next task. Hardware will start the classification of the next task from
scratch.

 * Measurements of the cost of the HRESET instruction

   Methodology:
   I created a tight loop with interrupts and preemption disabled. I
   recorded the value of the TSC counter before and after executing
   HRESET or RDTSC. I repeated the measurement 100,000 times.
   I performed the experiment using an Alder Lake S system. I set the
   frequency of the CPUs at a fixed value.

   The table below compares the cost of HRESET with RDTSC (expressed in
   the elapsed TSC count). The cost of the two instructions is
   comparable.

                              PCore      ECore
        Frequency (GHz)        5.0        3.8
        HRESET (avg)          28.5       44.7
        HRESET (stdev %)       3.6        2.3
        RDTSC  (avg)          25.2       35.7
        RDTSC  (stdev %)       3.9        2.6

 * Used an ALTERNATIVE macro instead of static_cpu_has() to execute HRESET
   when supported. (PeterZ)
