[PATCHv3 00/10] KVM in-guest performance monitoring

[Gleb Natapov]

This patchset exposes an emulated version 2 architectural performance
monitoring unit to KVM guests.  The PMU is emulated using perf_events,
so the host kernel can multiplex host-wide, host-user, and the
guest on available resources.

The patches are against next branch on kvm.git.

If you want to try running perf in a guest you need to apply the patch
below to qemu-kvm and use -cpu host on qemu command line. But DO NOT
TRY those patches without applying [1][2] to the host kernel first.
Don't tell me I didn't warn you!

Changelog:
 v1->v2
  - put index into struct kvm_pmc instead of calculating it
  - use locked version of bitops
  - inject pmi from irq work if vcpu was not in a guest mode during NMI
  - providing stub for perf_get_x86_pmu_capability() for !PERF_EVENTS
 v2->v3
  - minor style change/comment clarification
  - add perf patch to disable arch event not supported by a CPU
  - create perf events as pinned
