[PATCH 0/6] KVM: x86/pmu: Use binary search to check filtered events

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

 



This started out as a simple change to sort the (up to 300 element)
PMU filtered event list and to use binary search rather than linear
search to see if an event is in the list.

I thought it would be nice to add a directed test for the PMU event
filter, and that's when things got complicated. The Intel side was
fine, but the AMD side was a bit ugly, until I did a few
refactorings. Imagine my dismay when I discovered that the PMU event
filter works fine on the AMD side, but that fundamental PMU
virtualization is broken.
