[PATCH v2] x86: Update guest LBR tests for Architectural LBR

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

 



This unit-test is intended to test the basic KVM's support for
Architectural LBRs which is a Architectural performance monitor
unit (PMU) feature on Intel processors including negative testing
on the MSR LBR_DEPTH values.

If the LBR bit is set to 1 in the MSR_ARCH_LBR_CTL, the processor
will record a running trace of the most recent branches guest
taken in the LBR entries for guest to read.
