Modern intel processors have supported Architectural Performance Monitoring Version 5, this commit upgrade Intel vcpu's vPMU version from 2 to 5. Go through PMU features from version 3 to 5, the following features are not supported: 1. AnyThread counting: it is added in v3, and deprecated in v5. 2. Streamed Freeze_PerfMon_On_PMI in v4, since legacy Freeze_PerMon_ON_PMI isn't supported, the new one won't be supported neither. 3. IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS.ASCI[bit 60]: Related to SGX, and will be emulated by SGX developer later. 4. Domain Separation in v5. When INV flag in IA32_PERFEVTSELx is used, a counter stops counting when logical processor exits the C0 ACPI C-state. KVM has little information about guest ACPI C-state. When guest enable unsupported features through WRMSR, KVM will inject a #GP into guest.
