[PATCH 3/9] KVM: x86/pmu: Add PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS_SET MSR emulation

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

 



The IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS_SET MSR is introduced with arch PMU
version 4. It allows software to set individual bits in
IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR. It can be used by a VMM to virtualize the
state of IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS across VMS.

If the running VM owns the whole PMU, different VM will have different
perf global status, VMM needs to restore IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR at
VM switch, but IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR is read only, so VMM can use
IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS_SET MSR to restore VM's PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR.

This commit adds this MSR emulation, so that L1 VMM could use it. As it
is mainly used by VMM to restore VM's PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR during VM
switch, it doesn't need to inject PMI or FREEZE_LBR when VMM write it.
