Hi All, The proposal is to about defining the qemu-kvm interface for reserving the performance monitor for guest(guests) in Embedded Power Architecture. The plan is to reserve the Performance Monitor for guest/s on guest boot-up and will be released only on guest reset/exit. If a Performance Monitor reserved by host then it can't be reserved for guest and vice-versa. So when Performance monitor is reserved by host then performance monitor can't be used by guests and if reserved by guest then it should not be used by host.
In general we greatly prefer sharing vs. reservation (there are exceptions, for example PCI device assignment).
Is there a compelling reason to assign the performance monitor to a single guest?
