Hi Shaoqin, On 1/15/24 09:01, Shaoqin Huang wrote:The KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_FILTER provides the ability to let the VMM decide which PMU events are provided to the guest. Add a new option `kvm-pmu-filter` as -cpu sub-option to set the PMU Event Filtering. Without the filter, all PMU events are exposed from host to guest by default. The usage of the new sub-option can be found from the updated document (docs/system/arm/cpu-features.rst).do not hesitate to cc qemu-arm@xxxxxxxxxx for ARM specific topics.Here is an example shows how to use the PMU Event Filtering, whenwhich showswe launch a guest by use kvm, add such command line: # qemu-system-aarch64 \ -accel kvm \ -cpu host,kvm-pmu-filter="D:0x11-0x11" Since the first action is deny, we have a global allow policy. This disables the filtering of the cycle counter (event 0x11 being CPU_CYCLES).Actually it filters it ;-) It would rather say this filters out the cycle counter. But I am not a native speaker either ;-)And then in guest, use the perf to count the cycle: # perf stat sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 1.22 msec task-clock # 0.001 CPUs utilized 1 context-switches # 820.695 /sec 0 cpu-migrations # 0.000 /sec 55 page-faults # 45.138 K/sec <not supported> cycles 1128954 instructions 227031 branches # 186.323 M/sec 8686 branch-misses # 3.83% of all branches 1.002492480 seconds time elapsed 0.001752000 seconds user 0.000000000 seconds sys As we can see, the cycle counter has been disabled in the guest, but other pmu events are still work.do still workSigned-off-by: Shaoqin Huang <shahuang@xxxxxxxxxx> --- v4->v5: - Change the kvm-pmu-filter as a -cpu sub-option. [Eric] - Comment tweak. [Gavin] - Rebase to the latest branch. v3->v4: - Fix the wrong check for pmu_filter_init. [Sebastian] - Fix multiple alignment issue. [Gavin] - Report error by warn_report() instead of error_report(), and don't use abort() since the PMU Event Filter is an add-on and best-effort feature. [Gavin] - Add several missing { } for single line of code. [Gavin] - Use the g_strsplit() to replace strtok().

[Eric] - Add g_free() in kvm_arch_set_pmu_filter() to prevent memory leak. [Eric] - Add more precise error message report. [Eric] - In options doc, add pmu-filter rely on KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_FILTER support in KVM. [Eric] v1->v2: - Add more description for allow and deny meaning in commit message.

From the document we know that set the pmu_filter through one vcpu ioctl but it will take effect on the entire vm.

Ok. I can add a new test and repost it. And I will fix all errors pointed by you. Thanks for your reviewing.
Thanks Eric
