0001-perf-x86-amd-Do-not-touch-the-AMD64_EVENTSEL_HOSTONL.patchFrom 9f724a38754d3f99a1b332c11e72e9dd213289d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

If we use "perf record" in an AMD Milan guest, dmesg reports a #GP warning
from an unchecked MSR access error on MSR_F15H_PERF_CTLx:
[] unchecked MSR access error: WRMSR to 0xc0010200 (tried to write
0x0000020000110076) at rIP: 0xffffffff8106ddb4 (native_write_msr+0x4/0x20)
[] Call Trace:
[] amd_pmu_disable_event+0x22/0x90
[] x86_pmu_stop+0x4c/0xa0
[] x86_pmu_del+0x3a/0x140
The AMD64_EVENTSEL_HOSTONLY bit is defined and used on the host,
while the guest perf driver should avoid such use.
