[PATCH] KVM: vPMU: Don't program counter for interrupt-based event sampling w/o lapic_in_kernel

From: Wanpeng Li
Date: Fri Oct 22 2021 - 05:18:07 EST


From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

vPMU depends on in-kernel lapic to deliver pmi interrupt, there is a
lot of overhead when creating/maintaining perf_event object,
locking/unlocking perf_event_ctx etc for vPMU. It silently fails to
deliver pmi interrupt if w/o in-kernel lapic currently. Let's not
program counter for interrupt-based event sampling w/o in-kernel
lapic support to avoid the whole bothering.
