After the L1 saves its PMU SPRs but before loading the L2's PMU SPRs, switch the pmcregs_in_use field in the L1 lppaca to the value advertised by the L2 in its VPA. On the way out of the L2, set it back after saving the L2 PMU registers (if they were in-use). This transfers the PMU liveness indication between the L1 and L2 at the points where the registers are not live. This fixes the nested HV bug for which a workaround was added to the L0 HV by commit 63279eeb7f93a ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Always save guest pmu for guest capable of nesting"), which explains the problem in detail. That workaround is no longer required for guests that include this bug fix. Fixes: 360cae313702 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Nested guest entry via hypercall") Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxxxx> --- I have a later performance patch that reverts the workaround, but it would be good to fix the nested HV first so there is some lead time for the fix to percolate.
