[PATCH] KVM: x86: Omit PMU MSRs from KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST if !enable_pmu

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

 



When the PMU is disabled, don't bother sharing the PMU MSRs with
userspace through KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST.  Instead, filter them out so
userspace doesn't have to keep track of them.

Note that 'enable_pmu' is read-only, so userspace has no control over
whether the PMU MSRs are included in the list or not.
