[PATCH v4 00/12] KVM: x86: Add AMD Guest PerfMonV2 PMU support
From: Like Xu
Date: Tue Feb 14 2023 - 00:08:22 EST
Starting with Zen4, core PMU on AMD platforms such as Genoa and
Ryzen-7000 will support PerfMonV2, and it is also compatible with
legacy PERFCTR_CORE behavior and msr addresses.
If you don't have access to the hardware specification, the commits
d6d0c7f681fd..7685665c390d for host perf can also bring a quick
overview. Its main change is the addition of three msr's equivalent
to Intel V2, namely global_ctrl, global_status, global_status_clear.
It is worth noting that this feature is very attractive for reducing the
overhead of PMU virtualization, since multiple msr accesses to multiple
counters will be replaced by a single access to the global register,
plus more accuracy gain when multiple guest counters are used.
All related testcases are passed on a Genoa box.
Please feel free to run more tests, add more or share comments.
Patch 0001-0009 could be applied earlier, which may help reduce
the burden on industrious reviewers.

V3 -> V4 Changelog:
- Compilability of each patch is retained; (Sean)
- Apply "if (!diff)" style and use the atomic set_bit(); (Sean)
- First optimize the helper, then expose it in pmu.h; (Sean)
- Just use scattered X86_FEATURE_PERFMON_V2; (Sean)
- Drop use of kvm_cpu_cap_has() when refresh; (Sean)
- Use tweaked kvm_pmu_cap.num_counters_gp; (Sean)
- Sanity check the number of counters enumerated by perf; (Sean)
- Apply an if-elif-else sequence for number of counters; (Sean)
- Refine commits messages to provide hidden information; (Sean)
- Apply kvm_cpu_cap_check_and_set() when enable_pmu; (Sean)
- Fix a coner case when user sets GLOBAL_STATUS reserved bits;
- For AMD GLOBAL_STATUS, writes are ignored as host does;
- For AMD GLOBAL_CTL, none #GP on writes as host does;
- For AMD GLOBAL_STATUS_CLR, none #GP on writes as host does;
