Subject: [PATCH 14/23] KVM: x86/pmu, perf/x86: Update effective PMU partition mask
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 15:19:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821222002.54907-15-zide.chen@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260821222002.54907-1-zide.chen@intel.com>
The static system-wide mask x86_pmu.partition_mask defines the global
maximum guest capability, while a guest may have its own mask, which
is a subset of x86_pmu.partition_mask.
The per-guest mask, which on Intel is backed by the PERFMON_MASK VMCS
field, is the effective mask while a vCPU is loaded. Whenever it
changes -- e.g. during kvm_arch_vcpu_{load,put}() -- perf/x86 needs to
be told so it can keep its own per-CPU copy in sync.
