[PATCH] KVM: x86: Allow exposure of VMware backdoor Pseudo-PMCs when !enable_pmu

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

 



From: Like Xu <likexu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Fix kvm_pmu_rdpmc() logic to allow exposure of VMware backdoor Pseudo-PMCs
if pmu is globally disabled.

In this usage scenario, once vmware_backdoor is enabled, the VMs can fully
utilize all of the vmware_backdoor-related resources, not just part of it,
i.e., vcpu should always be able to access the VMware backdoor Pseudo-PMCs
via RDPMC. Since the enable_pmu is more concerned with the visibility of
hardware pmu resources on the host, fix it to decouple the two knobs.

The test case vmware_backdoors from KUT is used for validation.
