Subject: [kvm-unit-tests patch 2/5] x86/pmu: Relax precise count validation for Intel overcounted platforms
Date: Sat, 12 Jul 2025 17:49:12 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250712174915.196103-3-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250712174915.196103-1-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com>
From: dongsheng <dongsheng.x.zhang@intel.com>
As the VM-Exit/VM-Entry overcount issue on Intel Atom platforms,
there is no way to validate the precise count for "instructions" and
"branches" events on these overcounted Atom platforms. Thus relax the
precise count validation on these overcounted platforms.
