[kvm-unit-tests PATCH] x86: pmu: Test perfctr overflow after WRMSR on a running counter

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

 



Ensure that a WRMSR on a running counter will correctly update when the
counter should overflow (similar to the existing overflow test case but
with the counter being written to while it is running).
