To avoid LBR attacks or accidental data leakage, on these specific platforms, KVM should not expose guest LBR capability even if HT is disabled on the host, considering that the HT state can be dynamically changed, yet the KVM capabilities are initialized at module initialisation.

Also, the comments should be platform code name, not the model. AFAIK, Atom X3 should be SoFIA which is for mobile phone. It's an old product. I don't think I enabled it in perf. I have no idea why you want to add it here for KVM. If you have a product and want to enable it, I guess you may want to enable it for perf first.Thanks for your clarification about SoFIA. I'll drop 0x5D check for V2 since we doesn't have host support as you said. Do the other models here and the idea of banning guest LBR make sense to you ?
For the Atom after Silvermont, I don't think hyper-threading is supported. That's why it's per physical core. I don't think we should disable LBR because of it.
For Nehalem, it seems possible that the MSR_LBR_SELECT can be overridden if the other logical core has a different configure. But I'm not sure whether it brings any severe problems. Logical core A may miss some LBRs or get extra LBRs, but I don't think LBRs can be leaked to Logical core B. Also, Nehalem is a 13+ year old machine. Not sure how many people still use it.
LBR format 0 is also a valid format version, LBR_FORMAT_32. It seems this patch just forces the format to LBR_FORMAT_32 for these machines. It doesn't sound correct.
Thanks, Kan
