[PATCH v7 09/12] KVM: x86/pmu: Constrain the num of guest counters with kvm_pmu_cap

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

 



From: Like Xu <likexu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Cap the number of general purpose counters enumerated on AMD to what KVM
actually supports, i.e. don't allow userspace to coerce KVM into thinking
there are more counters than actually exist, e.g. by enumerating
X86_FEATURE_PERFCTR_CORE in guest CPUID when its not supported.
