[PATCH v2 48/54] KVM: x86/pmu/svm: Set enable_passthrough_pmu module parameter

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

 



From: Sandipan Das <sandipan.das@xxxxxxx>

Since passthrough PMU can be also used on some AMD platforms, set the
"enable_passthrough_pmu" KVM kernel module parameter to true when the
following conditions are met.
 - parameter is set to true when module loaded
 - enable_pmu is true
 - is running on and AMD CPU
 - CPU supports PerfMonV2
 - host PMU supports passthrough mode
