Hi Mingwei,
Regarding the ongoing issue you mentioned on Intel Skylake platform, I tried to reproduce it .However, these two cases could PASS on my Skylake machine. Could you double check it with the latest kvm-unit-tests or share me your SKL CPU model?

CPU model on my SKL :
	 'Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6140 CPU @ 2.30GHz'.
Passthrough PMU status:
	$cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/enable_passthrough_pmu
	$Y
Kvm-unit-tests:
	https://gitlab.com/kvm-unit-tests/kvm-unit-tests.git
Result:
	PASS: Intel: TSX cycles: gp cntr-3 with a value of 37
	PASS: Intel: full-width writes: TSX cycles: gp cntr-3 with a value of 36

Tested-by: Yongwei Ma <yongwei.ma@xxxxxxxxx>

Thanks and Best Regards,
Yongwei Ma
