[RFC PATCH v3 58/58] perf/x86/amd: Support PERF_PMU_CAP_PASSTHROUGH_VPMU for AMD host

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

 



From: Sandipan Das <sandipan.das@xxxxxxx>

Apply the PERF_PMU_CAP_PASSTHROUGH_VPMU flag for version 2 and later
implementations of the core PMU. Aside from having Global Control and
Status registers, virtualizing the PMU using the passthrough model
requires an interface to set or clear the overflow bits in the Global
Status MSRs while restoring or saving the PMU context of a vCPU.

PerfMonV2-capable hardware has additional MSRs for this purpose namely,
PerfCntrGlobalStatusSet and PerfCntrGlobalStatusClr, thereby making it
suitable for use with passthrough PMU.
