[PATCH v2 05/16] KVM: x86/pmu: Add PMC bitmap accessor helpers
From: Zide Chen
Date: Thu Aug 27 2026 - 18:50:09 EST
pmu->nr_arch_{gp,fixed}_counters is not able to represent that a PMU
may include non-contiguous GP or fixed counters.
pmu->pmc_exists already holds a bitmap indicating both fixed and
general-purpose counters, and loops over valid counters can be done via
pmu->pmc_exists alone. Extend it to a union so that the u64 alias is
available for convenient mask arithmetic operations.
Add the necessary helpers to prepare for bitmap-based PMC counter
implementation.
No functional change intended.

v2:
- Rename kvm_{gp,fixed}_pmc_supported() to kvm_is_{gp,fixed}_pmc_supported()
and simplify them by removing the temporary bitmap. (Sean)
- Split kvm_for_each_set_pmc_idx() to kvm_for_each_gp_counter()
and kvm_for_each_fixed_counter(). (Sean)
