[PATCH v4 6/9] KVM: selftests: Test consistency of CPUID with num of gp counters

From: Jinrong Liang
Date: Mon Sep 11 2023 - 18:43:02 EST


From: Jinrong Liang <cloudliang@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Add test to check if non-existent counters can be accessed in guest after
determining the number of Intel generic performance counters by CPUID.
When the num of counters is less than 3, KVM does not emulate #GP if
a counter isn't present due to compatibility MSR_P6_PERFCTRx handling.
Nor will the KVM emulate more counters than it can support.
