The type of task_ctx is hardcoded as struct x86_perf_task_context, which doesn't apply for Architecture LBR. For example, Architecture LBR doesn't have the TOS MSR. The number of LBR entries is variable. A new struct will be introduced for Architecture LBR. Perf has to determine the type of task_ctx at run time. The type of task_ctx pointer is changed to 'void *', which will be determined at run time. The generic LBR optimization can be shared between Architecture LBR and model-specific LBR. Both need to access the structure for the generic LBR optimization. A helper task_context_opt() is introduced to retrieve the pointer of the structure at run time.
