[PATCH V6 1/2] perf ignore LBR and extra_rsp

From: kan . liang
Date: Mon Jul 14 2014 - 23:17:54 EST


From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxx>

x86, perf: Protect LBR and extra_regs against KVM lying

With -cpu host, KVM reports LBR and extra_regs support, if the host has
support.
When the guest perf driver tries to access LBR or extra_regs MSR,
it #GPs all MSR accesses,since KVM doesn't handle LBR and extra_regs support.
So check the related MSRs access right once at initialization time to avoid
the error access at runtime.

For reproducing the issue, please build the kernel with CONFIG_KVM_INTEL = y
(for host kernel).
And CONFIG_PARAVIRT = n and CONFIG_KVM_GUEST = n (for guest kernel).
Start the guest with -cpu host.
Run perf record with --branch-any or --branch-filter in guest to trigger LBR
Run perf stat offcore events (E.g. LLC-loads/LLC-load-misses ...) in guest to
trigger offcore_rsp #GP

---
V2: Move the check code to initialization time.
V3: Add flag for each extra register.
Check all LBR MSRs at initialization time.
V4: Remove lbr_msr_access.
For LBR msr, simply set lbr_nr to 0 if check_msr failed.
Disable all extra msrs in creation places if check_msr failed.
V5: Fix check_msr broken
Don't check any more MSRs after the first fail
Return error when checking fail to stop creating the event
Remove the checking code path which never get
V6: Move extra_msr_access to struct extra_reg
Modify and move check_msr function to perf_event_intel.c
Other minor code changes
