[PATCH v6 04/12] KVM: vmx/pmu: Emulate MSR_ARCH_LBR_DEPTH for guest Arch LBR

From: Yang Weijiang
Date: Fri Jul 16 2021 - 04:36:35 EST


From: Like Xu <like.xu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The number of Arch LBR entries available is determined by the value
in host MSR_ARCH_LBR_DEPTH.DEPTH. The supported LBR depth values are
enumerated in CPUID.(EAX=01CH, ECX=0):EAX[7:0]. For each bit "n" set
in this field, the MSR_ARCH_LBR_DEPTH.DEPTH value of "8*(n+1)" is
supported.

On a guest write to MSR_ARCH_LBR_DEPTH, all LBR entries are reset to 0.
KVM writes guest requested value to the native ARCH_LBR_DEPTH MSR
(this is safe because the two values will be the same) when the Arch LBR
records MSRs are pass-through to the guest.
