[PATCH v2 1/3] KVM: arm64: Read PMUVer as unsigned
From: James Clark
Date: Thu Mar 05 2026 - 11:30:20 EST
ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.PMUVer is an unsigned field, so this skips
initialization of host_data_ptr(nr_event_counters) for PMUv3 for Armv8.8
onwards as they appear as negative values.
Fix it by reading it as unsigned. Now ID_AA64DFR0_EL1_PMUVer_IMP_DEF
needs to be special cased, so use pmuv3_implemented() which already does
it.
Fixes: 2417218f2f23 ("KVM: arm64: Get rid of __kvm_get_mdcr_el2() and related warts")
