The patch looks correct to me. I compiled the kernel with CONFIG_ARM_PMU set and unset, saw no problems. The IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM_PMU) condition does prevent the compile error reported by Andre, as removing it triggered an error. I also double checked that static keys are initialized before KVM, which in hindsight was obvious, since the GIC is initialized before KVM, and the GIC driver makes use of static keys: Reviewed-by: Alexandru Elisei <alexandru.elisei@xxxxxxx> Thanks, Alex > > Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <maz@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > arch/arm64/kvm/perf.c | 10 ++++++++++ > arch/arm64/kvm/pmu-emul.c | 10 ---------- > include/kvm/arm_pmu.h | 9 +++++++-- > 3 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/arch/arm64/kvm/perf.c b/arch/arm64/kvm/perf.c > index d45b8b9a4415..739164324afe 100644 > --- a/arch/arm64/kvm/perf.c > +++ b/arch/arm64/kvm/perf.c > @@ -11,6 +11,8 @@ > > #include <asm/kvm_emulate.h> > > +DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(kvm_arm_pmu_available); > + > static int kvm_is_in_guest(void) > { > return kvm_get_running_vcpu() != NULL; > @@ -48,6 +50,14 @@ static struct perf_guest_info_callbacks kvm_guest_cbs = { > > int kvm_perf_init(void) > { > + /* > + * Check if HW_PERF_EVENTS are supported by checking the number of > + * hardware performance counters.
