PeterZ, I dropped your ACK from v4 because the perf patches were completely
broken.
Fix a bug where KVM incorrectly advertises PMU_CAP_LBR_FMT to userspace if
perf has disabled LBRs, e.g. because probing one or more LBR MSRs during
setup hit a #GP.
The non-KVM patch cleans up a KVM-specific perf API to fix a benign bug
where KVM ignores the error return from the API.
The remaining patches clean up KVM's PERF_CAPABILITIES mess, which makes
everything far more complex than it needs to be by
v5:
- Drop perf patches that removed stubs. The stubs are sadly necessary
when CPU_SUP_INTEL=n && KVM_INTEL={m,y}, which is possible due to
KVM_INTEL effectively depending on INTEL || CENTAUR || ZHAOXIN.
[hint provided by kernel test robot].
- Add a patch to ignore guest CPUID on host userspace MSR writes.
- Add supported PERF_CAPABILITIES to kvm_caps to simplify code for all
parties.
v4
- https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220901173258.925729-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx:
- Make vmx_get_perf_capabilities() non-inline to avoid references to
x86_perf_get_lbr() when CPU_SUP_INTEL=n. [kernel test robot]
v3:
- https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220831000051.4015031-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx
- Drop patches for bug #1 (already merged).
- Drop misguided "clean up the capability check" patch. [Like]
v2:
- https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220803192658.860033-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx
- Add patches to fix bug #2. [Like]
- Add a patch to clean up the capability check.
- Tweak the changelog for the PMU refresh bug fix to call out that
KVM should disallow changing feature MSRs after KVM_RUN. [Like]
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220727233424.2968356-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx
