[PATCH] kvm/x86: Fix PT "host mode"

From: Alexander Shishkin
Date: Mon Aug 23 2021 - 09:42:54 EST


Regardless of the "pt_mode", the kvm driver installs its interrupt handler
for Intel PT, which always overrides the native handler, causing data loss
inside kvm guests, while we're expecting to trace them.

Fix this by only installing kvm's perf_guest_cbs if pt_mode is set to
guest tracing.
