It can be desirable to expose a PMU to a guest, and yet not want the
guest to be able to count some of the implemented events (because this
would give information on shared resources, for example.

For this, let's extend the PMUv3 device API, and offer a way to setup a bitmap of the allowed events (the default being no bitmap, and thus no
filtering).

Userspace can thus allow/deny ranges of event. The default policy
depends on the "polarity" of the first filter setup (default deny if the filter allows events, and default allow if the filter denies events).
This allows to setup exactly what is allowed for a given guest.

Note that although the ioctl is per-vcpu, the map of allowed events is global to the VM (it can be setup from any vcpu until the vcpu PMU is
initialized).

The compiler does the right thing, but sore, I'll change it.

So in that case the guest counter will not increment but the guest does
not know the counter is not implemented. Can't this lead to bad user
experience. Shouldn't this disablement be reflected in PMCEID0/1 regs?

The whole point is that we want to keep things hidden from the guest.
Also, PMCEID{0,1} only describe a small set of events (the architected
common events), and not the whole range of microarchitectural events
that the CPU implements.

I am still not totally convinced. Things are not totally hidden to the
guest as the counter does not increment, right? So a guest may try to
use as it is advertised in PMCEID0/1 but not get the expected results
leading to potential support request. I agree not all the events are
described there but your API also allows to filter out some of the ones
that are advertised.

I think we're at odds when it comes to the goal of this series. If you
read the CPU TRM, you will find that event X is implemented. You look
at PMCEIDx, and you find it is not. You still get a support request! ;-)

Dropping events from these registers is totally trivial, but I'm not
sure this will reduce the surprise effect. It doesn't hurt anyway, so
I'll implement that.

Here's why. I wonder if we already have a problem with the consistency
of the
error codes returned to userspace.
OK. Then you may document it in the commit message?

I still need to work out whether we actually have an issue on that.

[...]

not related to this patch but shouldn't we advertise this only with
in-kernel irqchip?

We do support the PMU without the in-kernel chip, unfortunately... Yes,
supporting this feature was a big mistake.
But I see in kvm_arm_pmu_v3_set_attr:
case KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_IRQ:
../..
                if (!irqchip_in_kernel(vcpu->kvm))
                        return -EINVAL;

Ah, I see what you mean. Yes, we probably shouldn't report that the PMU
IRQ attribute is supported when we don't have an in-kernel irqchip.

Thanks,

        M.
