[PATCH 0/3] KVM: x86: Intel PERF_CAPABILITIES fix and cleanups

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

 



Fix a bug where KVM doesn't refresh the vPMU after userspace writes
PERF_CAPABILITIES, and then leverage that fix to avoiding checking
guest_cpuid_has(X86_FEATURE_PDCM) during VM-Enter, which is slow enough
that it shows up in perf traces[*].
