When the PERFCORE is disabled with "-cpu host,-perfctr-core", it is reflected in in guest dmesg. [ 0.285136] Performance Events: AMD PMU driver. However, the guest cpuid indicates the PerfMonV2 is still available. CPU: Extended Performance Monitoring and Debugging (0x80000022): AMD performance monitoring V2 = true AMD LBR V2 = false AMD LBR stack & PMC freezing = false number of core perf ctrs = 0x6 (6) number of LBR stack entries = 0x0 (0) number of avail Northbridge perf ctrs = 0x0 (0) number of available UMC PMCs = 0x0 (0) active UMCs bitmask = 0x0 Disable PerfMonV2 in cpuid when PERFCORE is disabled.
