Even better would be if we can convince perf to rename AMD64_NUM_COUNTERS to AMD64_LEGACY_NUM_COUNTERS. > + if (kvm_pmu_cap.num_counters_gp < AMD64_NUM_COUNTERS_CORE) { > + kvm_pmu_cap.num_counters_gp = AMD64_NUM_COUNTERS; Hmm, this subtly relies on kvm_init_pmu_capability() running first. That _probably_ won't change, but like the arch LBRs side of things I would prefer to avoid taking unnecessarily. E.g. something like this? /* * Enumerate support for PERFCTR_CORE if and only if KVM has * access to enough counters to virtualize "core" support, * otherwise limit vPMU support to the legacy number of counters. */ if (kvm_pmu_cap.num_counters_gp < AMD64_NUM_COUNTERS_CORE) kvm_pmu_cap.num_counters_gp = min(AMD64_NUM_COUNTERS, kvm_pmu_cap.num_counters_gp); It's a bit paranoid, but practically speaking it doesn't cost us anything. > + } else { > + /* AMD PMU PERFCTR_CORE CPUID */ Meh, this is not a very helpful comment, no need to carry it forward. And if you drop it, then the need for curly braces goes away. > + kvm_cpu_cap_check_and_set(X86_FEATURE_PERFCTR_CORE); > + } > + } > > /* CPUID 0x8000001F (SME/SEV features) */ > sev_set_cpu_caps(); > -- > 2.39.1 >
