[RFC PATCH 18/41] KVM: x86/pmu: Intercept full-width GP counter MSRs by checking with perf capabilities

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

 



From: Mingwei Zhang <mizhang@xxxxxxxxxx>

Intercept full-width GP counter MSRs in passthrough PMU if guest does not
have the capability to write in full-width. In addition, opportunistically
add a warning if non-full-width counter MSRs are also intercepted, in which
case it is a clear mistake.
