[PATCH v2 11/17] KVM: x86/pmu: Adjust precise_ip to emulate Ice Lake guest PDIR counter

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

 



The PEBS-PDIR facility on Ice Lake server is supported on IA31_FIXED0 only.
If the guest configures counter 32 and PEBS is enabled, the PEBS-PDIR
facility is supposed to be used, in which case KVM adjusts attr.precise_ip
to 3 and request host perf to assign the exactly requested counter or fail.

The cpu model check is also required since some platforms may place the
PEBS-PDIR facility in another counter index.
