[PATCH V7 05/18] KVM: x86/pmu: Set MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE_EMON bit when vPMU is enabled

From: Zhu Lingshan <hidden>
Date: 2021-06-22 09:43:53
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: kernel virtual machine for x86 (kvm/x86), the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Sean Christopherson, Paolo Bonzini, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

From: Like Xu <redacted>

On Intel platforms, the software can use the IA32_MISC_ENABLE[7] bit to
detect whether the processor supports performance monitoring facility.

It depends on the PMU is enabled for the guest, and a software write
operation to this available bit will be ignored. The proposal to ignore
the toggle in KVM is the way to go and that behavior matches bare metal.
