[PATCH v3 04/11] KVM: selftests: Test Intel PMU architectural events on fixed counters

From: Jinrong Liang
Date: Mon Aug 14 2023 - 07:52:36 EST


From: Jinrong Liang <cloudliang@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Update test to cover Intel PMU architectural events on fixed counters.
Per Intel SDM, PMU users can also count architecture performance events
on fixed counters (specifically, FIXED_CTR0 for the retired instructions
and FIXED_CTR1 for cpu core cycles event). Therefore, if guest's CPUID
indicates that an architecture event is not available, the corresponding
fixed counter will also not count that event.
