Do you mean change the code like this, and call "__get_fixed_pmc" in my patch? We already have a similar function to get gp counters. struct kvm_pmc *get_gp_pmc(struct kvm_pmu *pmu, u32 msr, u32 base) // get gp counters struct kvm_pmc *get_fixed_pmc(struct kvm_pmu *pmu, u32 msr) // get fixed counters -/* returns fixed PMC with the specified MSR */ -static inline struct kvm_pmc *get_fixed_pmc(struct kvm_pmu *pmu, u32 msr) +static inline struct kvm_pmc *__get_fixed_pmc(struct kvm_pmu *pmu, u32 msr, u32 base) { - int base = MSR_CORE_PERF_FIXED_CTR0; - if (msr >= base && msr < base + pmu->nr_arch_fixed_counters) return &pmu->fixed_counters[msr - base]; return NULL; } +/* returns fixed PMC with the specified MSR */ +static inline struct kvm_pmc *get_fixed_pmc(struct kvm_pmu *pmu, u32 msr) +{ + return __get_fixed_pmc(pmu, msr, MSR_CORE_PERF_FIXED_CTR0) +} Thanks, Luwei Kang > > > -Andi
