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 v6.3-rc2.
v2:
- Collect Marc's r-b tags (Thank you!)
- Added "Fixes:" tags
- Added Cc: to stable
- Cosmetics change (remove one line break in kvm_pmu_handle_pmcr())
