[PATCH v4 34/38] perf/x86/amd: Support PERF_PMU_CAP_MEDIATED_VPMU for AMD host
From: Mingwei Zhang
Date: Mon Mar 24 2025 - 13:47:39 EST
From: Sandipan Das <sandipan.das@xxxxxxx>
Apply the PERF_PMU_CAP_MEDIATED_VPMU flag for version 2 and later
implementations of the core PMU. Aside from having Global Control and
Status registers, virtualizing the PMU using the passthrough model
requires an interface to set or clear the overflow bits in the Global
Status MSRs while restoring or saving the PMU context of a vCPU.
PerfMonV2-capable hardware has additional MSRs for this purpose namely,
PerfCntrGlobalStatusSet and PerfCntrGlobalStatusClr, thereby making it
suitable for use with mediated vPMU.
