[PATCH V2 0/5] KVM vPMU support for AMD

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently KVM only supports vPMU for Intel platforms. This patch set 
enable vPMU support for AMD platform by creating a common PMU
interface for x86. The PMU calls from guest VMs are dispatched
to corresponding functions defined in arch specific files.

V2:
  * Create a generic pmu.c file which is shared by Intel and AMD CPUs;
  * pmu.c code becomes part of kvm.ko module. Similarly pmu_intel.c and
    pmu_amd.c are linked to kvm-intel.ko and kvm-amd.ko respectively;
  * Re-define kvm_pmu_ops function pointers. Per Radim Krcmar's comments,
    a large portion of Intel vPMU code are now consolidated and moved to
    pmu.c;
  * Polish pmu_amd.c code to comply with new definition of kvm_pmu_ops;

V1:
  * Adopt the file layout suggested by Radim Krcmar
  * Link arch module with its specific PMU file

RFC:
  * Initial version for RFC

Wei Huang (5):
  KVM: x86/vPMU: Define kvm_pmu_ops to support vPMU function dispatch
  KVM: x86/vPMU: Rename pmu.c file to pmu_intel.c
  KVM: x86/vPMU: Create vPMU interface for VMX and SVM
  KVM: x86/vPMU: Implement vPMU code AMD CPUs
  KVM: x86/vPMU: Enable PMU handling for AMD PERFCTRn and EVNTSELn MSRs
