[PATCH 0/3] KVM: x86: Intel PERF_CAPABILITIES fix and cleanups
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Wed Jul 27 2022 - 19:34:37 EST
Fix a bug where KVM doesn't refresh the vPMU after userspace writes
PERF_CAPABILITIES, and then leverage that fix to avoiding checking
guest_cpuid_has(X86_FEATURE_PDCM) during VM-Enter, which is slow enough
that it shows up in perf traces[*].
