[PATCH 0/2] KVM: arm64: PMU: Preserve vPMC registers properly on migration

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

 



The series fixes two problems in preserving vPMU counter (vPMC)
registers (PMCCNTR_EL0/PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0) during migration.

One of the problems is that KVM may not return the current values
of the vPMC registers for KVM_GET_ONE_REG.

The other one might cause KVM to reset the vPMC registers on the
first KVM_RUN on the destination. This is because userspace might
save PMCR_EL0 with PMCR_EL0.{C,P} bits set on the source, and
restore it on the destination.

See patch-1 and patch-2 for details on these issues respectively.

The series is based on v6.2.
