[PATCH v8 07/13] KVM: arm64: PMU: Allow userspace to limit PMCR_EL0.N for the guest

From: Raghavendra Rao Ananta
Date: Fri Oct 20 2023 - 17:41:20 EST


From: Reiji Watanabe <reijiw@xxxxxxxxxx>

KVM does not yet support userspace modifying PMCR_EL0.N (With
the previous patch, KVM ignores what is written by userspace).
Add support userspace limiting PMCR_EL0.N.

Disallow userspace to set PMCR_EL0.N to a value that is greater
than the host value as KVM doesn't support more event counters
than what the host HW implements. Also, make this register
immutable after the VM has started running. To maintain the
existing expectations, instead of returning an error, KVM
returns a success for these two cases.

Finally, ignore writes to read-only bits that are cleared on
vCPU reset, and RES{0,1} bits (including writable bits that
KVM doesn't support yet), as those bits shouldn't be modified
(at least with the current KVM).
