[PATCH v6 10/16] KVM: x86/pmu: Track mediated PMU counters with mode-specific enables
From: Yosry Ahmed
Date: Tue May 05 2026 - 22:04:10 EST
Instead of always checking of a counter needs to be disabled for
mode-specific reasons (e.g. Host-Only/Guest-Only bits in SVM), add a
bitmap to track such counters. Set the bit for counters using either
Host-Only or Guest-Only bits in EVENTSEL on SVM.
This bitmap will also be reused in following changes to selectively
apply changes to such counters.
