[PATCH v2 3/8] KVM: selftests: Test Intel PMU architectural events on gp counters

From: Jinrong Liang
Date: Tue May 30 2023 - 09:43:28 EST


From: Like Xu <likexu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Add test cases to check if different Architectural events are available
after it's marked as unavailable via CPUID. It covers vPMU event filtering
logic based on Intel CPUID, which is a complement to pmu_event_filter.

According to Intel SDM, the number of architectural events is reported
through CPUID.0AH:EAX[31:24] and the architectural event x is
supported if EBX[x]=0 && EAX[31:24]>x.
