[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] target/i386: add -cpu,lbr=true support to enable guest LBR

From: Like Xu
Date: Sat Jun 13 2020 - 04:11:56 EST


The LBR feature would be enabled on the guest if:
- the KVM is enabled and the PMU is enabled and,
- the msr-based-feature IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES is supporterd and,
- the supported returned value for lbr_fmt from this msr is not zero.

The LBR feature would be disabled on the guest if:
- the msr-based-feature IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES is unsupporterd OR,
- qemu set the IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES msr feature without lbr_fmt values OR,
- the requested guest vcpu model doesn't support PDCM.
