[PATCH v2 0/2] perf/x86: KVM: Disable vPMU on hybrid CPUs

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

 



Disable vPMU support in KVM when running on hybrid CPUs to avoid inducing
#GPs and other issues in guests.  This is intended to be a stopgap to
prevent unwitting KVM users from shooting themselves in the foot until KVM
KVM gets proper enabling for hybrid CPUs.

Effectively squash exporting PMU capabilities from perf until it too gets
proper enabling.

v2:
 - Disable vPMU on hybrid CPUs in KVM _and_ in perf. [Like]
 - Use X86_FEATURE_HYBRID_CPU instead of is_hybrid().
 - Tweak comments/changelogs to more clearly state that there are options
   beyond pinning vCPUs (though they still need KVM support). [Like]
