PMU in KVM

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

 



Hi Gleb,

I noticed that arch/x86/kvm/pmu.c is on your management and I have
some questions about PMU in KVM. Thanks ahead if you can spare time
answering these questions.

1. How could PMU cooperate with Intel VT? For example, I only find
flags in IA32_PERFEVTSELx MSRs to count in OS and USER mode (Ring 0
and other rings). What is the consequence when I open VMXON with PMU
enabled? Can I distinguish the counts in root and non-root mode? I
cannot find the related descriptions in Intel manual.

2. What is the current status of vPMU in KVM? Is it auto-enabled? And
how can I use (or enable/disable) it?

Thanks,
Arthur
