Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] Guest LBR Enabling

Last Branch Recording (LBR) is a performance monitor unit (PMU) feature
on Intel CPUs that captures branch related info. This patch series enables
this feature to KVM guests.

Here is a conclusion of the fundamental methods that we use:
1) the LBR feature is enabled per guest via QEMU setting of
KVM_CAP_X86_GUEST_LBR;
Did you send the QEMU parts for guest LBR support?


Not yet. Probably next week for the QEMU part.

Best,
Wei
