In the extreme case of host counters multiplexing and contention, the
perf_event requested by the guest's pebs counter is not allocated to any
actual physical counter, in which case hw.idx is bookkept as -1,
resulting in an out-of-bounds access to host_cross_mapped_mask.

How about "hw_idx > 0" so that KVM is a little less dependent on perf's exact
behavior? A comment here would be nice too.

The "hw->idx = 0" means that it occupies counter 0, so this part will look like this:

hw_idx = pmc->perf_event->hw.idx;
/* make it a little less dependent on perf's exact behavior */
if (hw_idx != pmc->idx && hw_idx > -1)
pmu->host_cross_mapped_mask |= BIT_ULL(hw_idx);

, what do you think ?


+ pmu->host_cross_mapped_mask |= BIT_ULL(hw_idx);
}
